A new study has identified a specific neural pathway that connects the brain’s processing of internal states to the formation ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

New research following children for more than a decade links high screen exposure before age two to accelerated brain maturation, slower decision-making, and increased anxiety by adolescence.

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; ...

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 ...

Neurodegenerative disorders are pressing global health challenges that stem from progressive neuronal dysfunction and loss. While the central roles of ...

The team made this discovery through advanced imaging techniques and electrophysiology to observe how the rodents transmitted the sensation of cool temperatures from skin to brain. "These tools have ...

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to adapt and learn in response to life experiences. It can allow you to gain new skills and recover from injury and trauma. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ...
