GlossarySensory Neurons

specialized cells that transmit sensory information to the brain

Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, are specialized nerve cells responsible for converting external stimuli from the environment into internal electrical impulses. These neurons transmit information from sensory receptors (such as those in the skin, eyes, and ears) to the central nervous system, allowing the brain to process and respond to sensory input.

community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !

in Research/Science 315 upvotes 9 months ago

Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.
