Sep. 27, 2023 In C. elegans worms, a single neuron named HSN uses multiple chemicals and connections to orchestrate egg-laying and locomotion over the course of several ...
Sep. 1, 2022 Scientists have discovered a new kind of synapse in the tiny hairs on the surface of neurons. The commonly overlooked protrusions called primary cilia contain special junctions that act as a shortcut ...
Nov. 23, 2022 In a breakthrough to understand more about the mammalian brain, researchers have discovered that a vital enzyme that enables brain signals is switching on/off at random, even taking hours-long ...
June 6, 2023 A team of experimental neurobiologists and theoretical biologists has managed to solve a mystery that has been baffling scientists for decades. They have been able to determine the nature of the ...
Jan. 26, 2024 Scientists have harnessed the power of specially made nanostructures to enhance the neural response in a locust's brain to specific odors and to improve their identification of those ...
Jan. 13, 2022 Why do mice without taste buds still prefer real sugar to the fake stuff? 'We've identified the cells that make us eat sugar, and they are in the gut,' said one of the researchers. ...
May 4, 2022 Using second-long electrical shocks, scientists discovered they could control the types of cells in a community of bacteria. Being able to direct the ratio of cells holds implications for settings ...
Nov. 12, 2021 Scientists have engineered bacteria that can detect specific molecules in the ...
Oct. 12, 2022 New research provides clues to falling fast asleep -- or lying wide awake. Studying fruit flies, researchers found that brain neurons adapt to help the flies stay awake despite tiredness in dangerous ...
Aug. 15, 2022 Receptors on cell surfaces translate an outer signal into a response inside the cell. By this, they are responsible for a plethora of essential processes in living organisms. But what if we could ...
