Every time we feel a gentle tap on the skin, specialized nerve cells convert that physical force into an electrical signal ...

Harvard Medical School neurobiologist David Ginty has won The Brain Prize 2026 for his career-long research on our sense of ...

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

Dendritic remodelling in Drosophila sensory neurons is a fundamental developmental process that refines neural circuitry by orchestrating the selective pruning and regrowth of dendritic branches. This ...

Four tiny 3D organs connected themselves in a lab dish, forming a replica of the human pain pathway, in a new study. The discovery allows scientists to better understand chronic pain and how pain ...

When you get better at a skill-recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game-sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...

New 3D reconstructions of a key sensory organ in ctenophores reveal an unexpected structural and functional complexity. The ...
