As we work on overcoming what scares us, a new plasticity becomes available in our brain, and fear strikes out.

Cancer tumors hijack the vagus nerve to communicate with the brain, triggering a hormonal response that suppresses the immune system.

Scientists have discovered a brain signaling pathway that eliminates body fat without reducing food intake by targeting ...

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 ...

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 ...

Tufts University School of Medicine researchers developed imaging technology that records neuronal activity throughout the brain during the first weeks of recovery. They discovered that a head injury ...

A pioneering study from Japan meticulously maps the brain's intricate neural pathways, shedding light on how specific regions work together to control impulsive actions. By employing advanced ...

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; ...

Chewing a bagel while reading the morning news, speaking while driving, dislodging a piece of food stuck between two teeth: In these and other tasks, the tongue and the brain coordinate intricate ...
