When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the ...

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 Science, researchers at Karolinska Institutet describe the neural processes behind how morphine relieves pain. This is valuable knowledge because the drug has such serious side ...

Neural circuits associated with three cortical regions in cognitive generalization with different manifestations from different species. (A) Emotionrelated brain regions mainly project to PFC and OFC; ...

For people living with relentless itching, the suggestion that their symptoms are “all in their head” can feel like a second injury. Yet the closer scientists look at the wiring that links itch and ...

The brain of humans and other animals is known to contribute to the protection of the body from infections. Past studies have ...

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

Scientists reveal how creatine could do more than build muscle, fueling brain resilience, enhancing mood, and supporting cognitive performance through exercise-driven biochemical pathways. Study: ...
