The brain's cerebral cortex is made up of distinct regions involved in myriad processes, from sensory perception to cognitive functions like memory, attention, and decision-making. University of ...
Objective: Somatostatin (SST) is secreted by islet δ-cells and by extraislet neuroendocrine cells. SST receptors have been identified on α- and β-cells, and exogenous SST inhibits insulin and glucagon ...

Copper and amyloid-beta — both products of Alzheimer’s disease — cause an important neurotransmitter in the brain to switch functions. Like other neurotransmitters, the small protein called ...
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified two specific receptor proteins in the brain that, when activated, boost the organ’s built-in ability to break down the amyloid-beta plaques ...
This may look like an abstract work of art, with bold splashes of purple paint. In fact, the purple areas in this image are cells that make the neurotransmitter somatostatin, which is produced all ...
