Scientists have created a comprehensive map of smell receptors in the mouse nose, revealing a few surprises about this ...

The odor receptors in the nose are not distributed at random but organized in a precise spatial pattern, two new studies ...

Unlike wavelengths of light or frequencies of sound waves, our sense of smell depends on the shape of odor molecules, which ...

Medically reviewed by Nicholas R. Metrus, MD Key Takeaways Neurons are cells that transmit electrical signals through the nervous system.Motor neurons control muscle activity and movement by carrying ...

The thermosensory neuron AFD unexpectedly modulates locomotion based on tactile experience through molecular and circuit mechanisms distinct from those underlying thermosensation.

Researchers released the first detailed map of smell receptors in the nose, organized into horizontal stripes that mirror the ...

"The dominant view in neuroscience has been that learning makes the brain more efficient by pushing neurons to act more independently, so information can be read out more cleanly," Liu says. "Our ...

Biological fundamentals and recent progress of artificial sensory neurons are systematically reviewed. Basic device, performance metrics, and potential applications of artificial sensory neurons are ...

During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...
