Types of neurons and their function

Medically reviewed by Nicholas R. Metrus, MD Key Takeaways Neurons are cells that transmit electrical signals through the nervous system.Motor neurons control muscle activity and movement by carrying ...
New findings reveal that certain areas of the brain influence how neurons transmit signals and control their range.
Various environmental stimuli, such as touch, heat, and pain, trigger nerve cells known as sensory neurons. They are commonly used in microfluidic devices for cosmetic testing, pain models, and ...
The first comprehensive single-cell atlas of bone-innervating sensory neurons has identified their dual role in reporting and repairing bone damage, providing a potential target for drugs that might ...
