Research that is taking a closer look at activity in the thalamus—a region long considered a relay station for the brain and ...

A new study reveals that neurons in the brainstem respond very differently to acute versus chronic pain, potentially ...

We explain what a neuron looks like, what it does, and how it works. Health Conditions Health Products ... Relay — carry signals from one place to another within the CNS.

Sensory neuron sends electrical impulses to a relay neuron, which is located in the spinal cord of the CNS. Relay neurons connect sensory neurons to motor neurons.

Artifical neuron mimicks function of human cells Date: June 24, 2015 Source: Karolinska Institutet Summary: Scientists have managed to build a fully functional neuron by using organic bioelectronics.

In a study of mice, scientists showed how one type of neuron in the eye may distinguish moving objects. The study suggests that the NMDA receptor, a protein normally associated with learning and ...

But now researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have shown that these dendrites do more than relay information from one neuron to the next. They actively process information ...

"This paper is mainly a basic science finding of a fundamental process of what nerve cells do. Understanding this relay system not only enhances our knowledge of brain function but could also ...

How do we manage to remember smells despite the fact that each olfactory sensory neuron only survives for about 60 ... which sit in the mucus in the back of the nose and relay data into the ...
