This valuable study shows that locomotion-related modulations in the mouse visual cortex are not uniform but primarily affect neurons in muscarinic receptor-negative patches, which receive projections ...

Data was acquired with the mesoSPIM system at a zoom of 0.63X with 561 nm excitation. The data was cropped to several regions of the somatosensory (5 volumes, without artifacts) and visual cortex (1 ...

Scientists develop lab-grown model of the human sensory pathway to investigate how pain signals are transmitted to the brain.

Changes in oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (HbR) concentrations were monitored across regions of interest (ROIs): primary somatosensory cortex (PSC), primary motor cortex (PMC) ...

This time, four tiny clusters were joined together: spinal ganglion, spinal cord, thalamus, and somatosensory cortex. The result, in Pasca’s words, was “like a tiny sausage.” A two-centimeter-long ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio's primary election is just around the corner. Measures on the ballot this election are several local races and issues. Voters across the state will be deciding on State ...

(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is running for the U.S. Senate in a primary challenge against Republican Sen. John Cornyn, setting up what is ...

Forced maintenance of Dach1 broad expression in late DRG neurons affects the transcriptome of nociceptors and results in impaired pain response. Primary somatosensory neurons constitute a heterogenous ...

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - The primary election for Lincoln is Tuesday. One of the big items on the ballot is the question of whether to extend the quarter-cent sales tax for the “Lincoln on the ...

Now, two new studies suggest that IL-17 acts on two distinct brain regions—the amygdala and the somatosensory cortex—to exert two divergent effects. In the amygdala, IL-17 can elicit feelings ...

These fibers project not to the somatosensory cortex but to the posterior insula, a brain area tied to emotion and bodily awareness. This stimulation sets off a cascade of neurochemical changes ...
