A study in mice concluded that memory problems associated with age may be driven by our gut microbiome and that the vagus ...

A new study from Scripps Research reveals how a key touch-sensing protein detects mechanical forces with remarkable precision. Each time something lightly presses against your skin, specialized sensor ...

Every time we feel a gentle tap on the skin, specialized nerve cells convert that physical force into an electrical signal ...

Harvard Medical School neurobiologist David Ginty has won The Brain Prize 2026 for his career-long research on our sense of ...

When you get better at a skill-recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game-sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...

As mice age, changes in the microorganisms in their guts contribute to cognitive decline by altering signalling between the gut and brain.

BrainXell today announced the launch of its human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived sensory neurons, a scalable human cellular platform engineered to support reproducible functional studies ...

Neuropathic pain is a devastating type of pain that significantly reduces the quality of life of affected people.
