This pathway depends on the crossing ... in the middle of the retina to form the optic nerve. These RGC axons then navigate toward the midline of the brain at the optic chiasm, where some axons ...

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are crucial for transmitting visual signals from the eyes to the brain, and their ... can ...

Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This laboratory model could be used to help explain certain pain syndromes ...

High eye pressure can gradually damage the optic nerve, the pathway that transmits visual information from the eye to the ...

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

So when you touch a hot stove, the nerve endings in your fingers react instantly. But the ouch comes a split-second later, when that information finally reaches your brain. Well, now, scientists have ...

HAMILTON: Where the signals register as pain - Pasca wanted to recreate this pathway in the lab. So his team created four different brain organoids, spherical clumps of human nerve cells that grow ...
