Converging pathways involve impulses from several neurons coming together into one neuron. Converging pathways increase sensitivity to excitatory or inhibitory signals. An example of a converging ...

Neural circuits associated with three cortical regions in cognitive generalization with different manifestations from different species. (A) Emotionrelated brain regions mainly project to PFC and OFC; ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

The brain of humans and other animals is known to contribute to the protection of the body from infections. Past studies have ...

Scientists have introduced a highly sensitive protein sensor that captures the real-time flow of incoming signals between ...

Kallyope, a late-stage biotechnology company leveraging unique insights into neural signaling pathways to develop innovative therapies for health challenges faced by hundreds of millions of people ...

Because unpleasant withdrawal symptoms fuel nicotine addiction’s high relapse rate, targeting their underlying mechanisms with treatments may promote continued abstinence from the drug. In a new ...

During human brain development, neural stem cells must balance self-renewal and differentiation to build the cerebral cortex – the brain’s outer layer responsible for cognition and perception. If this ...
