The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of ...

Hyderabad, have identified a mammalian protein, Cnpy1 (Canopy1), that is essential for the survival and function of ...

Clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling “hotspots” that link electrical signals to gene expression, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The discovery may potentially lead ...

Classification of neurons into types enables their reproducible identification across times, laboratories and conditions. Classification also facilitates genetic access for functional studies, as well ...

Scientists define five types of colon neurons specialized for sending different signals to the brain. The gut-brain connection is a complicated two-way signaling cascade that is responsible for ...

There are many kinds of dopamine neurons located in the uppermost region of the brainstem that manufacture and release dopamine throughout the brain. Recently published research reports a relationship ...

In their efforts to understand how the brain processes information, neuroscientists are trying to identify all of the different types of neurons in the brain and how they connect with one another.
