The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

Our body movements profoundly impact how our brain processes sensory information. Historically, it was believed that the brain's primary motor cortex played a key role in modulating sensory ...

Human experience of the world depends on a seamless interplay between sensory receptors, neural pathways and higher‐order brain regions. Physical stimuli – light, sound waves, pressure, chemicals and ...

The tongue contains numerous taste buds—tiny sensory organs responsible for detecting taste. Taste buds consist of specialized cells that translate chemical stimuli into neural signals. Among them, ...

Researchers found that a Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) A1 stimulant, 2-methylthiazoline (2MT), act as a potent insect repellent in Drosophila. 2MT induces aversive behaviors via olfactory, ...

Discover how the innovative brain chip is transforming lives, offering new hope for the visually impaired with cutting-edge neural technology.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Insect antennae have long fascinated scientists with their remarkable ability to detect an array of environmental stimuli, from vibrations and surface textures to magnetic fields.

Sensory pathways in Drosophila to detect and avoid 2MT are shown. Flies escape from 2MT through olfactory, taste, and nociceptive sensory pathways. This study identified that TRPA1 expressed in taste ...
