Types of neurons and their function

Medically reviewed by Nicholas R. Metrus, MD Key Takeaways Neurons are cells that transmit electrical signals through the nervous system.Motor neurons control muscle activity and movement by carrying ...
Researchers at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Hyderabad have identified a mammalian protein, Cnpy1 (Canopy1), that is essential for the survival and function of vomeronasal sensory ...
This valuable work identifies a subpopulation of neurons in the larval zebrafish pallium that responds differentially to varying threat levels, potentially mediating the categorization of negative ...
