Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

Mapping the anatomy and neurons in the zebrafish heart. Credits: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-54830-w The intracardiac nervous system (IcNS) has been known for decades.

“We showed that the EphA4 protein was essential for guiding motor neurons from the brain to targets in the spinal cord,” Professor Bartlett said. “But further studies showed EphA4 was also ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you're an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Neurons are the cells that govern brain function, and you ...

Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory and learning in mice. But in humans, the technical challenges of identifying and analyzing new neurons in adult brains, combined with their ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you're an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? To uncover the relationship between neurogenesis in ...

In the study, researchers discovered several types of neurons in the heart, each serving a unique purpose ... like arrhythmias. The researchers used zebrafish for their study. Zebrafish hearts are ...

These results suggest that the GPR139 antagonist did not block the inhibitory action of the GPR139 agonist in the decision-making process during the fear-retrieval phase; however, solitarily, it ...
