An international team of Human Brain Project (HBP) researchers has mapped out neurotransmitter receptors across the macaque brain, defining key organizational principles in the brain, and revealing a ...

The odor receptors in the nose are not distributed at random but organized in a precise spatial pattern, two new studies ...

For most of us, the sense of smell is an integral part of everyday life; it plays a critical role in providing information ...

Signals in our brain are not always processed in the same way: Certain receptors modulate these mechanisms, influencing our mood, perception, and behavior in various ways. One of these is the 5-HT2A ...

Treating Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions has been challenging due to a lack of tools capable of navigating the complexity of neural circuits. New precision tools like DART.2 help make ...

This means that scientists should be able to engineer receptors with new functions by swapping those modules. This study addressed the origins of plant immunity at a molecular level, showing that ...
