In A Nutshell Researchers identified CGRP-producing neurons in the thalamus that connect pain signals with emotional threat ...

Features of Neurons There are many different types of neurons, and they all have special functions in the brain, spinal cord, and muscles that control the body. The three neuron types (sensory ...

Researchers have created over 400 distinct types of human nerve cells in vitro, vastly expanding the diversity available for ...

Types of Neurons Sensory neurons The cell bodies of sensory neurons are located in the dorsal root ganglia—cell body clusters just outside the spinal cord—whereas their peripheral extensions travel ...

In the hippocampus, a critical brain region for learning and memory, new cells emerge in some people into late adulthood, ...

Scientists define five types of colon neurons specialized for sending different signals to the brain.

These networks of artificial neurons and synapses form the basis of artificial intelligence. They can be emulated in two ways: either through computer simulations or using electronic components ...

An image of the colon wall showing different types of sensory neurons labeled with fluorescent dyes. Neurons that signal from the colon to the brain (green) become active in response to stretching ...
