New research explores the many ways our sensory experiences overlaps, teaching us new ways the brain perceives ...

Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or they affect the ability to see, taste, and feel through the senses. In order to instantly facilitate these bodily ...

In order to instantly facilitate these bodily processes, highly specialized sensory and motor neurons (as well as interneurons) are used to transmit these signals and coordinate the way your body ...
