The fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMRP) is a multifunctional RNA-binding protein implicated in human neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative...

Differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) generates cell phenotypes valuable for cell therapy and personalized medicine. Successful...

Dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons associated with C-fibres, many of which are activated by tissue-damage, express an unusual voltage-gated sodium channel...

The mammalian vomeronasal system is specialized in pheromone detection. The neural circuitry of the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) provides an anatomical...

Although cholinergic neurons in the laterodorsal and pedunculopontine tegmental nuclei have been shown to have a pivotal role in neural mechanisms of...

The zinc finger protein Klf7 and POU homeodomain protein Brn3a are each required for efficient transcription of TrkA in primary sensory neurons. In this study,...

Energy homeostasis requires precise measurement of the quantity and quality of ingested food. The vagus nerve innervates the gut and can detect diverse...

The neural circuit underlying defecation behavior in Drosophila larvae has been identified and characterized.

In rodents, the vomeronasal system controls social and sexual behavior. However, several mechanistic aspects of sensory signaling in the vomeronasal organ...

Semiochemicals activate a subpopulation of sexually dimorphic olfactory sensory neurons.

Of the approximately 1,000 odorant receptor (OR) genes in the mouse genome, an olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) is thought to express one gene, from one allele....

Neural activity in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) represents incidental stimulus-stimulus associations, providing additional evidence for OFC having a role in...

The mouse olfactory system contains two distinct chemosensory epithelia, the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) and the vomeronasal epithelium (VNE). Their...
