Understanding how the brain works requires more than studying single regions in isolation. The cerebral cortex depends on long-distance connections that link specialized areas into coordinated ...

Cell-to-cell communication is essential throughout all forms and stages of life, and many communication mechanisms are well studied. However, over the past few years, scientists have found increasing ...

How do brain regions communicate? Researchers introduce a new optogenetic method to target long-distance circuits in ...

New simulator and computational tools generate realistic ‘virtual tissues’ and map cell-to-cell ‘conversations’ from spatial transcriptomics data, potentially accelerating AI-driven discoveries in ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Research led by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine explores the ways brain cells communicate, revealing fresh insight into the progression of ...

Researchers found that intestinal tuft cells signal to crypt enterochromaffin cells by releasing acetylcholine, triggering serotonin release and activating a gut-to-brain vagal pathway during type 2 ...
