Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

Dendritic remodelling in Drosophila sensory neurons is a fundamental developmental process that refines neural circuitry by orchestrating the selective pruning and regrowth of dendritic branches. This ...

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

The human sense of touch is a complex system that integrates diverse sensations such as pain, temperature, and pleasant ...

To navigate, the brain must convert changing sensations into a map-like sense of the world, which remains stable as the body moves. A new study finds that the fly brain sometimes performs the ...

Brain cells are increasingly being found outside the brain, and now researchers have identified specific neurons in the abdomen that control some aspects of digestion. Not all brain cells are found in ...

Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right ...

Four tiny 3D organs connected themselves in a lab dish, forming a replica of the human pain pathway, in a new study. The discovery allows scientists to better understand chronic pain and how pain ...

Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...

Hunger is a powerful force essential for survival, driving individuals to seek out food. For early humans, it fueled purposeful movement as they hunted prey and gathered plants over long distances.
