This important study presents a new method for longitudinally tracking cells in two-photon imaging data that addresses the specific challenges of imaging neurons in the developing cortex. It provides ...

Researchers have measured the brain’s faint glow for the first time, hinting at a potential role of “biophotons” in cognition ...

A new study published in Nature reveals how olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) achieve extraordinary precision in selecting which genes to express.

If a patient does have decaying neurons, they can be given a treatment to stop the decaying before they are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or any other neurodegenerative disease.

Researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center have identified the specific neurons in mice brains that tell them they've eaten enough. This fascinating discovery could play a big role ...

Some food items are chewy, some are crispy, and others just melt inside your mouth. The impact of texture is rarely mentioned but it plays an important role in our eating habits. We care about ...

Columbia scientists have found specialized neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to stop eating. The findings appear in a paper, "Brainstem Neuropeptidergic Neurons Link a ...

A study led by Nikita Komarov and Simon Sprecher at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, has discovered neurons in the ...

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 ...
