Receptor in the skin detects a stimulus (the change in temperature). Sensory neuron sends electrical impulses to a relay neuron, which is located in the spinal cord of the CNS. Relay neurons ...

It encompasses the evolution, development, cellular and molecular biology, physiology, anatomy and pharmacology of the nervous system, as well as computational, behavioural and cognitive neuroscience.

We are broadly interested in the question of how interactions between cells within the brain (particularly between astrocytes and neurons) influence physiology and behavior. Astrocytes are the major ...
