Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

An incredible new study led by a team from the Scripps Research Institute has discovered a novel communication pathway between fat cells and the brain. The findings reveal that the brain doesn’t ...

Researchers have discovered that an FDA-approved drug acts on support cells in the central nervous system to encourage sensory neurons to regrow after injury. A spinal cord injury damages the lines of ...

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the occupants of danger. But imagine if the device could transform into something ...

Popular belief holds that our senses gather information only about the external world, but many of our sensory systems also monitor our internal environment, enabling the body to regulate its own ...

The traditional understanding of inflammation attributes the process primarily to immune cells responding to tissue damage or pathogen invasion. However, a growing body of research has revealed a ...

Peripheral nerve impairments in older adults were tied to a higher risk of subsequent dementia, a study of longitudinal data showed. Combined sensory and motor impairments in the lower leg doubled the ...

A spinal cord injury damages the lines of communication between the body and brain, impeding the signals that drive movement and sensation. Injured motor and sensory neurons in the central nervous ...

The sural nerve, positioned beneath the skin’s surface in the back of your lower leg, plays a critical role in your body’s sensory network. As a component of the peripheral nervous system, this nerve ...

Neurobiology profoundly influences our lives, impacting our health, thoughts, emotions, and behaviours (see How Our Neurobiology Shapes Our Daily Lives; Pang, 2023). Despite its importance, our ...
