Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

A study by BRIC-RGCB scientists has unveiled new insights into brain development and neural stem cell maintenance, ...

Researchers from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. The research, led by ...

UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism ...

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 ...

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 ...

A nerve injury activates a brain pathway that turns short-term pain into chronic pain. Blocking this signal may prevent long-term pain.

Have you ever felt a chill run down your spine while watching someone else in distress? This phenomenon, known as vicarious fear, allows us to experience fear by observing others—even when we are not ...
