Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

In a study published in Nature Human Behaviour on Oct. 9, researchers led by Profs. TU Yiheng and HU Li from the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have uncovered a neural ...

Researchers have uncovered remarkable new insights into the neural pathways of the brain that allow people to act to regulate their body temperature in response to changes in the environment. Their ...

Because unpleasant withdrawal symptoms fuel nicotine addiction’s high relapse rate, targeting their underlying mechanisms with treatments may promote continued abstinence from the drug. In a new ...

In a study of mice, researchers worked out a neural pathway that could help researchers alleviate nausea symptoms from chemotherapy drugs. By Veronique Greenwood Anyone who’s had a shady oyster or a ...

Improved understanding of a neural pathway connecting light-sensitive cells in the retina with the cortical brain regions involved in mood and cognition has implications for the development of ...

Extensive research in human cognitive neuroscience has enabled detailed documentation of the functional organization of the cortex. This organization represents regions that are specifically engaged ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and the Mechanobiology Institute (MBI) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered a novel pathway to wake up dormant neural stem cells, ...

A new study published in The Journal of Neuroscience has found that aggression can spread socially among mice, but only when there is a pre-existing bond between the observer and the aggressor.
