Researchers identified 16 distinct types of nerve cells involved in human touch and compared them with those in mice and ...

It's common knowledge that our brains—and, specifically, our brain cells—store memories. But a team of scientists has ...

No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by scientists in a new study on the human sense of touch.

Compared to the mouse, humans have many more pain nerve cells of the type that send pain signals to the brain at high speed.

Individual nerve cells in the brain can predict specific odors and their emotional associations. The primary olfactory cortex responds to both odors and related images, suggesting a complex processing ...

It's common knowledge that our brains -- and, specifically, our brain cells -- store memories. But a team of scientists has discovered that cells from other parts of the body also perform a memory ...

Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by a progressive loss of nerve cells leading to a decline in memory and cognition. A team of researchers at KU Leuven and VIB explored the molecular sequence of ...

Professor Mudher is using clever genetic manipulation in fruit flies to turn genes on and off in their nerve cells. This will reveal the genes responsible for helping tau (one of the proteins that ...

Alzheimer's disease, the leading cause of dementia, affects over 55 million people worldwide. The disease is characterized by ...

Penn Medicine researchers discovered that liver signals regulate eating patterns by interacting with brain centers, a process ...

Disruptions between the brain's master circadian clock and the liver's internal clock, communicated via the hepatic afferent ...
