I. Research Background The taste of food has a significant impact on the feeding motivation of animals. Previous research has shown that taste, as a positive feedback signal, can enhance the feeding motivation of animals. However, in recent years, studies on whether taste also plays a role in suppressing feeding and helping achieve negative feedbac...

Research Background The neural transduction mechanisms of tactile vibration coding have been a hot topic in neuroscience research. In daily life, we acquire information about the external environment through the perception of vibrations, such as phone vibration alerts or car proximity warnings. In mammals, high-frequency vibration perception is mai...

With the advancement of neuroscience research, the crucial role of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDA receptors, NMDAR) in neurotransmission and cognitive functions has become increasingly clear. NMDARs are a type of ionotropic glutamate receptor that play an important role in neuronal synapses, responsible for rapid excitatory transmission and s...

Antisense Oligonucleotide Enhances SLC20A2 Expression and Inhibits Brain Calcification in Humanized Mouse Models Background and Research Questions Primary Familial Brain Calcification (PFBC) is an age-related neurogenetic disorder, characterized by bilateral calcifications in brain regions such as the basal ganglia, thalamus, and cerebellum. PFBC p...
