Amino acid balance could play a role in SMA, as a study showed acids able to influence nervous system function were ...

The same genes could hold the key to regenerating cells in the ear and eye, according to a new mouse study. Researchers focused on a group of interacting genes called the Hippo pathway, which serve as ...

This important study suggests that adolescent mice exhibit less accuracy than adult mice in a sound discrimination task when the sound frequencies are very similar. While the evidence supporting this ...

Perception is the process by which the nature and meaning of sensory stimuli are recognized and interpreted. Perception can be influenced by attention and can occur subliminally, without conscious ...

This is one of the first studies to examine whether sensory impairments ... a neurotransmitter similar to dopamine in regulating motor function, offering a new therapeutic ...

In order to instantly facilitate these bodily processes, highly specialized sensory and motor neurons (as well as interneurons) are used to transmit these signals and coordinate the way your body ...

A study of mice on board the International Space Station gives NASA scientists a better clue as to why this significant and unresolved health risk exists. As it turns out, the bone losses may not have ...
