Gustatory Neural Pathways Revealed by Genetic Tracing from Taste Receptor Cells
Taste receptor cells encounter chemicals in foods and transmit this information to the gustatory neurons, which convey it further to the gustatory relay nuclei in the lower brainstem.

Neurorhetoric, Race, and the Law: Toxic Neural Pathways and Healing Alternatives [PDF]
Neurorhetoric is the study of how rhetoric shapes the human brain. At the forefront of science and communication studies, neurorhetoric challenges many preconceptions about how humans respond to persuasive stimuli.

A mechanism for achieving zero-lag long-range synchronization of neural activity [PDF]
Poster presentation: How can two distant neural assemblies synchronize their firings at zero-lag even in the presence of non-negligible delays in the transfer of information between them?

Predictive coding underlies adaptation in the subcortical sensory pathway [PDF]
The subcortical sensory pathways are the fundamental channels for mapping the outside world to our minds. Sensory pathways efficiently transmit information by adapting neural responses to the local statistics of the sensory input. The longstanding mechanistic explanation for this adaptive behaviour is that neuronal habituation scales activity to the ...

Neural Mechanisms and Pathways in Craniofacial Pain [PDF]
Many free nerve endings of small-diameter afferents (A-delta or C nerve fibres) respond to craniofacial noxious stimuli and a number of neurochemicals are involved in their activation or sensitization. The small-diameter nociceptive afferents project to the trigeminal (V) brainstem complex where they can excite nociceptive neurones that have been ...

Neural Pathways Conveying Novisual Information to the Visual Cortex
The visual cortex has been traditionally considered as a stimulus-driven, unimodal system with a hierarchical organization. However, recent animal and human studies have shown that the visual cortex responds to non-visual stimuli, especially in ...

Calcium modulating ligand confers risk for Parkinson's disease and impacts lysosomes
Abstract Objective Several genetic loci known to confer risk for Parkinson's disease (PD) function in lysosomal pathways. We systematically screened common variants linked to PD risk by genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) for impact on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins reflecting lysosomal function.

Central Neural Pathways Controlling Skeletal Muscle Shivering
Introduction: Skeletal muscle shivering is the most important source of thermogenesis in the human cold-defensive maintenance of core body temperature (Tcore) and the elevated Tcore during fever. The thermoregulatory reflex pathway through which skin and
