When we learn a new skill, our brain forms new connections between the neurons. The more we do the new skill, the stronger ...

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; ...

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 ...

The brain of humans and other animals is known to contribute to the protection of the body from infections. Past studies have ...

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 ...

For the first time, scientists have generated a functional neural pathway for sensing pain in a dish. This could help unravel mechanisms of pain disorders. “This is important groundbreaking work,” ...
