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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

A new study shows inherited calcium channel mutations disrupt brain development before birth, increasing epilepsy risk and ...
