Discover how brain organoids are helping us uncover whether early thought patterns emerge from experience or are hardwired ...

New research using human brain organoids shows that early neural activity follows structured, time-based patterns long before sensory experience begins.

NYU Langone researchers identified the connections between neurons that store sensory details and keep memories stable, ...

An incredible new study led by a team from the Scripps Research Institute has discovered a novel communication pathway between fat cells and the brain. The findings reveal that the brain doesn’t ...

Various environmental stimuli, such as touch, heat, and pain, trigger nerve cells known as sensory neurons. They are commonly used in microfluidic devices for cosmetic testing, pain models, and ...

LA JOLLA, CA—Gastrointestinal and digestive issues impact roughly 3 million people across the United States alone, and that number is growing. A new study from Scripps Research scientists shows how ...

A research group has found that sensory neurons play an important role in human skin pigmentation and physiology. Specifically, the neurons secrete a protein known as Repulsive Guidance Molecule B ...

An investigation into how human sensory neurons differ from animal neurons has provided researchers with important clues in the pursuit of more effective treatments for chronic pain. Researchers are ...
