It's a regular occurrence when taking our canine pals for drizzly walks and summer swims. But until recently, the biology ...

Researchers have found a way to disguise the dry, gritty mouth feel people often associate with eating fiber-rich foods.

New research has shown that some neurons that do not express leptin receptors are still sensitive to its activity.

TR1 and 2 were localized to the apical pole of taste cells using immunocytochemistry, which is precisely where they should be found if they are taste-sensory and not 'housekeeping' receptors.

Kokumi refers to the enhanced and more delicious state of food flavor. However, the underlying neuroscientific mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Our previous research demonstrated that ornithine ...

As AMPA receptors are one of the most important molecules ... activity might be responsible for disrupting the process of sensory perception, which may be the cause of external sensory information ...

Interoception research reveals how gut-brain communication via neural, hormonal, and microbial pathways regulates metabolism, ...

Bats adapt to hearing loss using innate brain circuits, residual hearing, and other sensory pathways. They adjust ...

Researchers from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of ...

Scientists examine the effectiveness of an antibody targeting cell adhesion molecule 1 in alleviating pain-induced neuronal activation. Cell surface proteins are essential for facilitating cell ...

Researchers from the lab of Richard Simerly have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. The work also suggests a novel role for the hunger ...
