We identify seven distinct colonic sensory neuron subtypes with nerve-specific subtype diversity between the lumbar splanchnic nerve and pelvic nerve. We characterise a range of novel molecular ...

Pain is an example of an important sensory neuron. When you feel pain from a hot pan or a sharp pin, you are sending sensory information via sensory neurons up to the brain. The flow of electrical ...

Sensory processing disorder—also known as SPD or sensory integration disorder—is a term describing a collection of challenges that occur when the senses fail to respond properly to the outside ...

2022). These developmental stages in rats and mice yield DRG neuron cultures with similar percentages of pseudo-unipolarization. Briefly, DRGs were isolated and mechanically dissociated, digested with ...

The authors set out to develop a tissue culture method in which to study the different regenerative abilities of the central and peripheral branch of sensory axons. Neurons developed a small and ...

Touch receptors are a subtype of sensory neuron that are located in the skin and possess specialized endings that respond to mechanical stimulation. As part of the somatosensory system ...

Sensory systems include the parts of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information, including the visual system, auditory system, olfactory system, somatosensory system ...

Sensory deprivation tank therapy (SDTT) is an alternative therapy thought to have physical and mental health benefits, including stress and anxiety relief, reduction of blood pressure, and alleviation ...

Feb. 12, 2025 — Scientists have developed a new systematic review to summarize for neurologists and other clinicians the evidence for epidural steroid injections and whether they reduce pain and ...

Both places had greasy exhaust fans, unclean utensils, unlabelled food, and lacked pest control records. The kitchens were found to be infested with cockroaches. Whether it's a popular restaurant ...

Studies on humans have generally been less definitive than those done on animals because it is substantially more difficult to record the activity of a single neuron in human brains. However ...

Feb. 11, 2025 — A complementary drug to combat Alzheimer's disease could target a specific part of the nerve cell protein tau. This is the finding of new research which also offers a better way ...
