Researchers identify specific neurons which activate fertility master switch.
In general, infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant after one year of unprotected sex. Causes of infertility or reproductive problems include disease and aging, with male infertility...
View ArticleArtificially intelligent synthetic skin interacts with brain cells.
The skin is the largest organ in the human body and is made up of three layers, the epidermis, dermis and the fat layer. The epidermis is the outer layer of skin that keeps vital fluids in and harmful...
View ArticleResearchers regenerate damaged nerves via the eye using optogenetics.
Damage to axons in the central nervous system (CNS) typically results in permanent damage and severed axons in the adult mammalian CNS do not spontaneously regenerate to restore lost functions....
View ArticleNeuroimaging shows the effect of hunger on the brain’s response to food cues.
The decision to engage in food-seeking behaviour depends on homeostatic signals relating to energy balance and the presence of competing motivational drives, as well as learned brain cues signaling...

Genetically-coded brain circuits can switch feeding and drinking behaviours on and off in mice.
View ArticleResearchers wirelessly hack master gene using nanophotonics.
Researchers have long been using the field of optogenetics, a biological technique involving the use of light to control cells in living tissue, typically neurons, which have been engineered to …...
