Three studies of the brain regions responsible for processing sensory information show that their neurons are and communicate ...

whereas MCH/CART+ cells are largely similar despite their diffuse distribution in the hypothalamus. It is therefore a combination of intrinsic electrophysiological properties and neurochemical ...

We used 50 μm of maximum fluorescence signal projection or 50 μm sections from eight brains to perform cell counting using Fiji software ... neurons projecting to the specific type of neuron. To ...

Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence researchers have identified over 60 transcriptomic neuron types in the ...

This study demonstrates the critical role of Afadin on the generation and maintenance of complex cellular layers in the mouse retina. The data are solid, which provides important insights into how ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a fundamental role in recognition memory -- how the brain registers the difference between new and familiar objects and forms long-term ...

Scientists explore how the immune and nervous systems constantly communicate, influencing brain diseases, behavior, and ...

Take a look around your home and you'll find yourself surrounded by familiar comforts-photos of family and friends on the ...

This important study examines the role of pericytes in patterning the zebrafish blood-brain barrier (BBB) and controlling its permeability. Using pdgfrb mutant zebrafish models lacking brain pericytes ...

Newly discovered brain cells count each bite before sending the ... "These neurons are unlike any other neuron involved in regulating satiation," says Alexander Nectow, a physician-scientist ...
