New research identifies a specific neural pathway (Pdyn+ neurons) that carries stress signals from the brain to the skin, triggering eczema flares by activating eosinophils.

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

The biofield, mediated by light known as biophotons, could be the missing piece of the consciousness puzzle.

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 ...

Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle movement, but these signals typically pass through spinal interneurons before they reach their destination. How the brain and this highly ...

BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) -- At a busy imaging lab at the University of California, Berkeley researchers are preparing for a journey to unmapped corners of the human brain. To get there, the team led by ...

In A Nutshell For the first time in humans, scientists decoded intended movements across all three joints of a missing leg, including knee, ankle, and toes, directly from nerve signals. Tiny electrode ...

Neural circuits associated with three cortical regions in cognitive generalization with different manifestations from different species. (A) Emotionrelated brain regions mainly project to PFC and OFC; ...

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

Stress can reshape a leader’s brain and influence their performance under pressure. Here’s why some leaders thrive while others struggle.
