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 ...

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

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 ...

Modern neuroscience research continues to explore compounds that interact with brain signaling systems. Scientists analyze molecular pathways that influence attention, neural communication, and ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
