Every soft caress of wind, searing burn and seismic rumble is detected by our skin’s tangle of touch sensors. David Ginty has ...

During somatosensory neurogenesis, neurons are born in an unspecialized transcriptional state. Several transcription factors in these cells follow a broad-to-restricted expression trajectory as ...

Now, two new studies suggest that IL-17 acts on two distinct brain regions—the amygdala and the somatosensory cortex ... and there are five different receptors that can bind to it.

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A novel drug compound has been identified that selectively activates delta opioid receptors, offering pain relief without the dangerous side effects associated ...

These fibers project not to the somatosensory cortex but to the posterior insula, a brain area tied to emotion and bodily awareness. This stimulation sets off a cascade of neurochemical changes ...

The researchers found that IL-17 acts on two distinct brain regions—the amygdala and the somatosensory cortex ... and there are five different receptors that can bind to it.

The proposal, titled "Cell Type Specificity of Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists on Cognitive Improvement," aims to understand the precise neurological mechanisms and cellular targets responsible ...

The somatosensory system consists of the peripheral receptors and neural pathways through which the nervous system detects and processes information about touch (mechanoception), pain (nociception ...
