Signals in our brain are not always processed in the same way: Certain receptors modulate these mechanisms, influencing our mood, perception, and behavior in various ways. One of these is the 5-HT2A ...

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are incretin analogues that promote glucose-mediated insulin release and are used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. GLP-1 receptor ...

For decades, neuroscience textbooks taught that the roughly 1,100 types of odor receptors in a mouse’s nose were scattered ...

Plants are continuously evolving new immune receptors to ever-changing pathogens. Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) have traced the origin and evolutionary ...

Treating Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions has been challenging due to a lack of tools capable of navigating the complexity of neural circuits. New precision tools like DART.2 help make ...

For decades, neuroscience textbooks described the inside of a mouse’s nose as a loosely organized patchwork: olfactory ...

Researchers have traced the origin and evolutionary trajectory of plant immune receptors. Their discovery will make it easier to identify immune receptor genes from genomic information and could help ...

Serotonin receptor agonists are a group of medications that activate the serotonin receptors in the central nervous system. A low serotonin level can lead to difficulty sleeping, depression, anxiety, ...
