For maggots, the experience of eating a succulent meal isn’t just about how their food tastes, but also how it feels.

Neurons balance energy efficiency by regulating protein synthesis based on molecular properties like stability and size.

The 3D-printed brain-like model from TU Delft promotes structured neuronal networks, offering a new tool for investigating ...

Anatomically, in vertebrate embryos, cranial motor neurons develop in columns and eventually cluster to form nuclei in discrete regions of the midbrain and hindbrain (which together make up the ...

Our brain is an energy-efficient marvel, with 86 billion neurons and trillions of connections running on just 20 watts—the energy of a single lightbulb. Swiss innovators at Final Spark are ...

Researchers have developed a 3D-printed model that mimics brain tissue, using nanopillar arrays to guide neuron growth. The ...

In the present study, researchers investigated whether sugar and fat activate HPC neurons with orexigenic function. First, they assessed whether HPC activates in response to individual nutrients ...

Distinct hippocampal neurons influence food preferences and obesity risk by responding to specific nutrients and forming spatial memory of food cues. Study: Separate orexigenic hippocampal ...

Its pathological hallmark is the abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) into insoluble fibrils and Lewy bodies, leading to the degeneration and death of dopaminergic neurons in the ...

Scientists identify neurons in mice that, once activated, can change body's metabolic rate, induce hibernation-like state Date: January 21, 2025 Source: Georgia State University Summary: A new ...
