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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Our understanding of schizophrenia has increased greatly in recent years, as studies of large groups of people have identified a multitude of genetic variants that increase a person's risk of the ...

Researchers at the Sainsbury Wellcome Center (SWC) at University College London have uncovered a neural mechanism in the brains of mice that enables the animals to overcome instinctive fears. 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 ...

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 stimulated the vagus nerve in healthy volunteers and showed it triggered blood clot formation, which they say could be used to prevent blood loss after surgery. When you purchase through ...
