In a new study, researchers from North Carolina State University show that itch sensations in the face are perceived differently from those in the body due to differences in signaling between ...

Neuronal pathways originating from the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) of the brain participate in different adaptive behaviors, but which pathways are used for distinct adaptive strategies remains unclear ...

During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular ...

In recent years, scientists have identified hundreds of different genes associated with autism, a burst of discovery that has ...

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 ...

An intermediary thalamic relay station (incoming neurons in red, outgoing neurons in green). (Kuno et al., Cell Rep., 2026) A ...

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 ...

A recent study published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology provides evidence that using cocaine and alcohol together ...
