The physiological power and biological value of brain-derived neurotrophic factor is so significant that it is often referred ...

The model calculations in the present study show that proteins are therefore preferably synthesized in the branched, tapering ...

Neuronal physiology refers to the biology of neuronal function, including an understanding of the molecular and cellular processes that underlie neuronal activity. Neural mechanisms mediating ...

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

Researchers have discovered neurons in the fly larva mouth that allow the taste of food texture. The study found that the fly peripheral taste organ has neurons with texture-tasting mechanoreceptors ...

A network of nerves similar to wires runs all through the human body, from the tips of your fingers and toes, through your back inside the spinal cord and up to your brain. Specialized pain receptors ...

Neurons in this system were more active than those in 2D cell culture. As reported January 14 in Neuron, scientists led by first author Emmy Li, now at Stanford University, California, and Martin ...

The advent of agriculture 12,000 years ago increased the availability of affordable, energy-dense, palatable food, resulting in a substantial effect on the evolutionary physiology of hunger that ...

"This is changing what we know about body-to-brain communication and how profoundly it affects physiology and behavior." The researchers were able to activate the population of neurons through a ...

The Canyon Neuron has long been the German brand’s most approachable do-it-all trail bike. Sitting in between the lightweight Lux Trail and the bigger travel Spectral, the Neuron aims to strike a ...

Although ALS has historically been characterized as a motor neuron disease, there is evidence that motor neurons degenerate in a retrograde manner, beginning in the periphery at the neuromuscular ...
