All cells, whether big or small, short or long, rely on proteins to function properly. In most cells, transporting these proteins is relatively simple. Neurons in the brain, however, face a ...
Researchers say findings may have relevance to understanding cell biological pathways that contribute to nerve repair after injury or neurodegeneration.
For decades, neuroscience textbooks taught that the roughly 1,100 types of odor receptors in a mouse’s nose were scattered ...
The odor receptors in the nose are not distributed at random but organized in a precise spatial pattern, two new studies reveal. By Emily Anthes Over the last century, scientists have mapped several ...
The inside of a mouse’s nose looks chaotic under a standard microscope: millions of sensory neurons packed into a thin, mucus ...
Scientists have identified a protective brain pathway that may help slow the progression of Parkinson's disease by ...
