They are studying both mice and lab-grown nerve cells. The researchers speculate that its secondary function in dorsal root ganglion neurons, which transmit sensory signals from skin-proximal ...

"However, the results of our new research uncover that any substances (including serotonin) released from EEC cells must communicate via a process of diffusion to the sensory nerve endings of the ...

The connection between the body and the brain has preoccupied philosophers and researchers for thousands of years. A new study at the University of Haifa has now identified a neural circuit that ...

The retina is an extremely complex structure. It's made up of at least 10 distinguishable layers, and is packed with more sensory nerve cells than anywhere else in the body. The retina is home to ...

The sensory nerve cell body resides in the ganglion. The anterior (ventral) horn contains the motor cell body and develops into the ventral motor roots and autonomic nerve fibers (Fig 1).

had on a specific sensory molecule found on the tips of peripheral nerves. They placed central and peripheral nerve cells taken from rats together in lab dishes to mimic the cells' relationship to ...

Gardenias are known for their rich, earthy fragrance, waxy petals and brilliant white color that contrasts with the deep ...

DRG are collections of sensory nerve cells essential for perceiving the external environment. These structures are often studied in mouse models of peripheral nerve diseases, as their composition is ...

This coordinated interaction of nerve cells appears to contradict efficient ... by reacting particularly briefly to corresponding sensory stimuli," says Prof. Gollisch, last author of the study.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) develops from neural crest cells which originate from the neuroectoderm. Based on the scientific hypothesis that the ...

Sensory axons ... from the end of an outgrowing nerve. We infer that inhibition was not the result of an apoptotic effect because the affected axons and their cell bodies did not display the ...
