The neural mechanisms of many symptoms associated with migraine have yet to be elucidated. New research suggests that a non-image-forming retinal pathway and signals from the dura mater contribute to ...

For decades, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have been diagnosed from the outside in, through behavior, mood, and memory rather than the cells and circuits that go wrong. Now a new wave of brain ...

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 ...

If the award-winning 1967 movie The Graduate were remade today, the film’s memorable word would need to switch from "plastics" to "plasticity," to mark the present as well as the future.

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 ...

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 ...
