Researchers have identified a previously overlooked neural pathway that helps control human hand and arm movements. The ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered that the constant gnawing of rodents isn't just a reflex or a ...

A new study reveals the brain circuit behind parental care also controls helping behavior, offering clues about the roots of compassion.

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 ...

Researchers discover a neural circuit that rewards gnawing behavior with dopamine, explaining repetitive oral habits in animals and humans.
