The Department of Physiology at Dr B R Ambedkar State Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS), Mohali, organised a heartfelt and ...

Howard Hughes Medical Institute-led research has produced a complete connectome of the Drosophila visual system, enabling systematic investigations into how visual information is processed and relayed ...

Pain is meant to be a defense mechanism. It creates a strong sensation to get us to respond to a stimulus and prevent ...

Neuronal physiology refers to the biology of neuronal ... interrupting its relationship to dopamine neuron firing and supporting an inverse scaling of dopamine release according to cholinergic ...

Our study characterizes one of the first lncRNA-derived micropeptides involved in neuronal physiology. This study identifies and characterizes SERTM2, a micropeptide derived from a lncRNA (lncMN3), ...

Scientists have long recognized the brain’s need for energy, but research from the University of Kentucky’s Sanders-Brown ...

Until now, skin cells have been viewed as barriers that can respond to electric stimuli. Turns out, they also generate electric spikes, similar to neurons. Sahana is a science journalist and an intern ...

West Virginia University neuroscientists have discovered a way to control how much zinc is released to specific locations in ...

A new Drosophila collection of Parkinsonism models reveals early synaptic cholinergic projection neuron dysfunction, linking synaptic failure to later dopaminergic decline, highlighting a role for ...

Pain is an example of an important sensory neuron. When you feel pain from a hot pan or a sharp pin, you are sending sensory information via sensory neurons up to the brain. The flow of electrical ...
