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 ...

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 ...

A new study published in The Journal of Neuroscience provides neural evidence regarding how environmental cues can bias human ...

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 ...

Scientists have identified a neural mechanism in the brain that may explain why people postpone unpleasant or stressful tasks ...

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 ...

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

Because unpleasant withdrawal symptoms fuel nicotine addiction’s high relapse rate, targeting their underlying mechanisms with treatments may promote continued abstinence from the drug. In a new ...

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 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 ...
