When students returned to Pomerado Elementary School in Poway on Wednesday, there was a colorful new feature on their playground. It’s a sensory pathway painted over the summer that leads students ...

Sensory pathways in Drosophila to detect and avoid 2MT are shown. Flies escape from 2MT through olfactory, taste, and nociceptive sensory pathways. This study identified that TRPA1 expressed in taste ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers assessed the role of the airway-to-brain sensory pathways in influenza-induced illness. Infection with pathogens results in a syndrome characterized ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

"I am often said to have identified the amygdala as the brain's 'fear' center. But the fact is, I have not done this, nor has anyone else." —Joseph LeDoux (2015) 3D illustration of both amygdala.

Sensory neurons detect internal and external cues in organs and send this information to the brain. Lung cancer exploits this pathway to lessen immune responses. Read the paper: Tumour–brain crosstalk ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

Researchers from the National Institute for Physiological Sciences/the Exploratory Research Center on Life and Living Systems (ExCELLS) in Japan identified a TRPA1 stimulant acts as a novel insect ...

Researchers found that a Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) A1 stimulant, 2-methylthiazoline (2MT), act as a potent insect repellent in Drosophila. 2MT induces aversive behaviors via olfactory, ...
