A team of neuroscientists at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology led by Baher Ibrahim and Dr. Daniel Llano published a study in eLife that furthers our understanding of how the ...

"This is the first neural circuit for temperature sensation in which the full pathway from the skin to the brain has been clearly identified." The cool signal activates when the skin is exposed to ...

For the first time, scientists have generated a functional neural pathway for sensing pain in a dish. This could help unravel mechanisms of pain disorders. “This is important groundbreaking work,” ...

Electron micrographs comparing the memory centers in the brains of normal and Fragile X syndrome flies illustrate the subtle effects of the syndrome on sensory neuron development. Sensory information ...

Taste, like other senses, is mediated by finely tuned circuits of neurons. These circuits are formed during embryonic development, when many extra neuronal synapses that will not exist in the fully ...

The updated rooms give children short breaks to regulate their nervous systems so they can return to class ready to learn—tools that many schools struggle to provide.
