"researchers have discovered a neural pathway, which involves a previously undiscovered group of sensory neurons that connect the heart to the brainstem. The study, published in Nature on 1 November1, shows that activating these neurons made mice became immobile almost immediately while displaying symptoms such as rapid pupil dilation and the classic eye-roll observed during human syncope." Very cool. I did not check to see if the authors of this paper are affiialted, but reserchers contributing to data at the NeMO Archive (https://nemoarchive.org/ https://nemoarchive.org/) have recently discovered over 3000 different types of cells in the brain, most of which are in the brain stem. This has added a whole new layer of complexity to explore. Exciting times to be involved in neuroscience!
