Researchers at University of Tsukuba have identified a previously uncharacterized neural circuit that directly links emotional processing to arousal. In the pathway, GABAergic neurons in the bed ...

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 ...

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; ...

Researchers at the Sainsbury Wellcome Center (SWC) at University College London have uncovered a neural mechanism in the brains of mice that enables the animals to overcome instinctive fears. The ...

A new study published in Computers in Human Behavior suggests that specific structural and functional patterns within the brain’s default mode network can predict the severity of problematic ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

A newly identified brain pathway in mice could explain why placebos, or interventions designed to have no therapeutic effect, still relieve pain. Developing drugs that target this pathway may lead to ...

Researchers have identified distinct molecular pathways that explain why cold feels different depending on where the body ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a previously unrecognized mechanism by which inherited calcium ...
