Strikingly, changes in these peptides occur in two other types of peripheral neurons after axonal injury, namely, sensory and motor neurons. These two signals also are involved in triggering a growth ...

The ability to regulate one's own food intake is essential to the survival of both humans and other animals. This innate ...

not only validated the molecular definitions of the cell types by comparing them with known anatomical and physiological data, but also identified new subtypes of major neurons involved in the ...

"Understanding these cell types and ... essential for sensory processing. "These strategies used helped us create the tools needed for other scientists to target these specific neurons, which ...

Specific types of nerve cells that are routinely generated in the lab include midbrain dopamine neurons, motoneurons, GABA+ interneurons and sensory neurons. Schematic illustration of the three main ...

Rather than rely solely on silicon, their work involves growing real biological neurons on electrode arrays ... providing the cells with sensory input. Other electrodes were then assigned to ...

Its pathological hallmark is the abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) into insoluble fibrils and Lewy bodies, leading to the degeneration and death of dopaminergic neurons in the ...
