The three neuron types (sensory, motor, interneuron) are separated into two categories based on whether or not they are protected by myelin: Myelinated neurons transmit electrical signals more ...

A team of researchers from the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) has reshaped the future of brain-inspired computing by developing a tiny quantum resonant tunneling diode (RTD), ...

International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) researchers have developed a neuromorphic photonic semiconductor neuron ...

Confocal micrograph of a peripheral sensory neuron in culture. Marker stains and antibodies are used to identify neurons (red), c-Fos protein (green) and nuclei (blue). Note the nuclear ...

There is a specialized subset of sensory neurons called nociceptors that are able to sense pain. These neurons are spread throughout our skin, our muscles, and in most of our internal organs.

The team next tracked sensory neurons to visualize their participation in tissue healing in mice. They observed that after injury, neuron endings grew in clusters around the damaged tissue, helping to ...

Receptor in the skin detects a stimulus (the change in temperature). Sensory neuron sends electrical impulses to a relay neuron, which is located in the spinal cord of the CNS. Relay neurons ...

They also explore broader implications, noting that behavioral state signals modulate neuronal activity through mechanisms beyond direct sensory feedback. Movement neuron activity persisted even ...

The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron populations ... receives and integrates sensory inputs, and neurons do ...
