... VNO) is an odor detection system that mediates many pheromone-sensitive behaviors. Vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs), located in the VNO, are the initial site of interaction with odors and pheromones ...
... shows that some preferences are still surprisingly flexible at even the most basic level — that of the sensory neuron itself — and that our nervous system may be even more adaptable than we thought.

... human memories are formed. Scientists have known for decades that sensory neurons – nerves in places like our fingers, ... its own, very specific way within a sensory organ," explained Noelle L'Etoile, ...
... shaped abnormally. They specifically looked at a group of 12 sensory neurons whose dendritic tips converge at the worm's nose in a sensory organ called the amphid. These dendritic tips collect ...

"Using this technique, for the first time, we could excite both a sensory neuron and an interneuron and monitor how activity propagates," says Guo, a research assistant in ...
... look at a neuron in the Aplysia and say, 'That's a motor neuron, that's a sensory neuron.' We know that the activity of those neurons has a significant role in behavior. When looking at a change in a ...
... to sleep.
But what has not been understood is the specific mechanism by which anesthetics affect sensory neurons, or that they can continue to cause pain and inflammation even as they are being used ...
... for their study. Their research focused on the olfactory receptor (OR) genes, which are expressed in sensory neurons within the olfactory epithelium, and constitute the molecular basis of the sense ...
... the chemical in chili peppers that contributes to their spiciness; CPS stimulates a receptor found in sensory neurons, creating the heat sensation and subsequent reactions like redness and sweating.

... go further, however, because the cells surrounding sensory nerve cell pathways too can be affected by ... β levels rose, and the release of IL-1β by sensory neurons may cause the release of CGRP in joints. ...
... Genetics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Sensory neurons may not regenerate, so an immune system ... CD8 T cells target infected sensory neurons.
"Instead, the lytic granules attack ...
... have overturned the 2,500-year-old theory that smell is detected by simple lock-and-key codes - using maggots with only one working olfactory sensory neuron (OSN), a nose with one nerve cell.
... couch, the VOR needs to accurately match sensory input with motor output," she adds. ... VOR circuit, they found that no matter how fast the sensory neuron was firing, the same amount of neurotransmitter ...
... some well-studied genetic mutations in C. elegans. These mutations inhibit the activity of some sensory neurons in the worm, and that helped the researchers conclude that ethosuximide also directly ...
