During the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD), α-synuclein pathology may originate in peripheral organs and spread to the CNS. Using human tissue samples and multiple approaches in mouse ...

Neuronal pathway finding is crucial for structured cellular organization and development of neural circuits within the nervous system. Neuronal pathway finding within the visual system has been ...

Market Snapshot Stock-market investors are getting nervous about this bond-market move that’s only happened twice in over 40 years Only twice since the early 1980s has the 10-year yield jumped ...

It turns out this migration is orchestrated by the nervous system. During fasting, neurons in the gut connected to the brain release chemical signals that bind to immune cells, telling them to ...

Octopus arms move with incredible dexterity, bending, twisting, and curling with nearly infinite degrees of freedom. New research from the University of Chicago revealed that the nervous system ...

The large nerve cord running down each octopus arm is separated into segments, giving it precise control over movements and creating a spatial map of its suckers. Octopus arms move with incredible ...

The fine control these almost-alien animals have over each of their eight arms is at least partially down to the segmentation of the nervous system circuitry that governs it. This discovery by ...

An international team of scientists has uncovered a fascinating piece of the evolutionary puzzle: how the ventral nerve cord, a key component of the central nervous system, evolved in ecdysozoan ...
