The autonomic nervous system (ANS), a crucial component of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), orchestrates a variety of physiological functions including heart rate, gut motility, and stress ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic 'barcode', they have ...

Tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcribed from mammalian genomes, especially in the brain, wherein most exhibit region-specific and/or cell-specific ...

New research supported by the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute's Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Scholars program zeroes in on the surprising observation that many genes found in brain cells and ...

This publication provides an overview of central nervous system (CNS) radiotracer development, discussing different aspects and stages of development. Non-invasive neuroimaging with radiotracers can ...

Millions of neurons branch throughout our bodies, keeping them in close communication with our brains. This peripheral network begins to take shape long before birth, as the cells of a growing embryo ...
