Head and neck cancer (HNC) represents a significant global health challenge, characterized by aggressive local invasion, frequent recurrence, and poor survival rates. Beyond its physical burden, HNC ...

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), ...

Sensory neurons are the cells of the nervous system that gather information from the environment and send it to the spinal cord, and in most cases on to the brain. While there are many different types ...

Researchers developed a nanoscale quantum resonant tunnelling diode that mimics a sensory neuron, detecting light, processing data, and converting it into electrical signals in one device. (Nanowerk ...

Researchers discover the SELK neuron, a single-cell decision-maker in fruit flies that weighs sweet vs. bitter signals to determine whether to eat or flee.

Comprehensive mapping of wing sensory neurons in Drosophila reveals that some proprioceptors make direct connections onto flight steering motor neurons, enabling rapid feedback control during flight.

Every soft caress of wind, searing burn and seismic rumble is detected by our skin’s tangle of touch sensors. David Ginty has spent his career cataloging the neurons beneath everyday sensations. Like ...

A late-maturing brain filter in the thalamus prunes noisy sensory inputs over time, helping adults ignore distractions and ...

The dominant theory in neuroscience has been that the sensory processing circuits in our brain are finalized in early childhood and fixed afterward. A recently published study, however, overturned ...
