Patients with chronic back pain exhibit auditory hyperresponsivity linked to specific neural pathways and multisensory sensitivity patterns.

Scientists discovered a smell receptor in mosquitoes that detects the plant compound borneol and triggers an immediate ...

Researchers identify PV neurons in the prefrontal cortex as the gatekeepers of drug addiction relapse, offering a new target for precision treatment.

Researchers prove humans are "musical animals" with a biological blueprint for rhythm and pitch that exists from birth.

Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the eye that convert light energy into neural signals. Several diseases that cause irreversible vision loss, including age-related macular degeneration, ...

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 ...

Drug addiction carries an extremely high risk of relapse, as cravings can be reignited by minor stimuli even long after one has stopped using. Previously, this phenomenon was attributed to a decline ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered that the constant gnawing of rodents isn't just a reflex or a consequence of a tough diet. It also triggers a release of dopamine in the brain ...

Concurrent decoding of acoustic detail and linguistic structure enables natural, intelligible speech synthesis from limited human cortical recordings, resolving a fundamental constraint in neural ...

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 ...
