Four tiny 3D organs connected themselves in a lab dish, forming a replica of the human pain pathway, in a new study. The discovery allows scientists to better understand chronic pain and how pain ...

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 ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers assessed the role of the airway-to-brain sensory pathways in influenza-induced illness. Infection with pathogens results in a syndrome characterized ...

The ability to regulate one's own food intake is essential to the survival of both humans and other animals. This innate ...
