When neurons involved in movement called motor neurons form, they must build connections that reach from the brain, brainstem, or spinal cord all the way to the head, arms, or the tips of the toes. How neurons navigate these systems and "decide" where and how to grow has largely been a mystery.
Washington [US], August 21 (ANI): Salk Institute researchers have found that a biochemical pathway that combines potentially dangerous sights, sounds, and odours into a single message: Be afraid. CGRP is a protein that permits neurons in two distinct sections of the brain to combine dangerous sensory signals into a coherent signal, label it as negative, and transmit it to the amygdala, where it is converted into fear.

Washington [US], August 16 (ANI): Scientists at the Salk Institute have discovered a biochemical route that combines hazardous sights, sounds, and odours into a single message: Be afraid. CGRP is a protein that allows neurons in two different parts of the brain to combine hazardous sensory cues into a cohesive signal, label it as negative, and send it to the amygdala, which converts the information into fear.
Washington [US], August 5 (ANI): During a recent study researchers have discovered how mitochondrial function, and dysfunction, play critical roles in numerous diseases, and even ageing.
Washington [US], March 14 (ANI): Like humans, animals also make complex decisions in life. But have you ever wondered about their process? New research from the Salk Institute in the US has investigated how worms with only 302 neurons navigate complex decision-making.
Age reversal has always piqued the interest of scientists. Researchers reached a breakthrough in reversing aging. While the process was successful in mice, it is far from ready for human use. Age reversal, a success in middle-aged mice Researchers in the US were successful in ‘refreshing’ old cells in healthy animals. The study uses gene […]
San Diego [US], November 22 (ANI): Now, scientists can have a look at the brain activity of a microscopic worm and tell you about which chemical it smelled a few seconds ago.
Nashville (Tennessee) [US], October 29 (ANI): Pioneering research from scientists at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have shown that acinar cells in the pancreas form new cell types to mitigate injury but are then susceptible to cancerous mutations.
