A new study published in Nature Neuroscience provides evidence that aging and injury lead to the buildup of senescent neurons ...

and blood flow Lupus in the central nervous system (CNS) is sometimes called CNS lupus or Neuropsychiatric lupus. Symptoms include: Confusion and trouble concentrating (sometimes called lupus brain ...

The Nervous System and Behavior Simple animals, like sea jellies, have direct neural connections between sensory cells and muscles, so that their swimming motion can change as needed. More complex ...

The nervous system is a complex collection of nerves and specialized cells known as neurons that transmit signals between different parts of the body. It is essentially the body's electrical wiring.

Each involves a spotlight on the brain and other parts of the nervous system, connecting them to one or more zones of psychology and behavior—from thought processes to social interactions to ...

All major functions of the nervous system – sense detection, mental processing and behavior direction – are critical. They allow animals to navigate their environments in ways that enable ...

Neuroscience examines the structure and function of the human brain and nervous system. Neuroscientists use cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition ...

They ate less and became more lethargic. When the researchers looked across the nervous system to see how that sickness behavior happened, they discovered that the worms had completely revamped ...

Figure 1: Klb and Fgfr expression in the nervous system. Figure 2: Transgenic overexpression of FGF21 alters wheel-running behavior through the SCN. Figure 4: Klb expression in the SCN is required ...

elegans connectome has in fact taught scientists a lot about the worm's behavior; partial connectomes that researchers have established in the crustacean nervous system have been similarly helpful.

Neuroscientists focus on the brain and its impact on behavior and cognitive functions, or how people think. They also investigate what happens to the nervous system when people have neurological ...
