Signals in our brain are not always processed in the same way: Certain receptors modulate these mechanisms, influencing our mood, perception, and behavior in various ways. One of these is the 5-HT2A ...

Our ability to feel a harmful touch or sense dangerous heat relies on specialized receptor proteins embedded in nerve cell ...

Research at Umeå University in Sweden shows that in the utricle - which is one of the internal ear's balance organs in mammals - epithelial cells can be regenerated, resulting in healthy sensory hair ...

Olfactory receptors (ORs), the largest family within the G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, have long been recognized for their essential ...

Signals in our brain are not always processed in the same way: certain receptors modulate these mechanisms, influencing our mood, perception, and behavior in various ways. One of these is the 5-HT2A ...

Led by Mathieu Beraneck, researchers at the University of Paris Cité/CNRS and the University of Barcelona explored the strength of the relationship between a type of inner hair cell in the ear and ...

An international team of Human Brain Project (HBP) researchers has mapped out neurotransmitter receptors across the macaque brain, defining key organizational principles in the brain, and revealing a ...

Sensory Schwann cells positive for SOX10 shown in red, sensory-ending within the Meissner corpuscle in green, SOX2-postive cell at the base of the Meissner corpuscle shown in silver. Special receptor ...

A team of scientists has now identified address codes in odorant receptor proteins for the first time. Similar to zip codes, the codes ensure that the sensor proteins are targeted from inside the cell ...
