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.

To test whether the neurons were functional, the researchers injected them into the brains of rats treated with a neurotoxin ...

Howard Hughes Medical Institute-led research has produced a complete connectome of the Drosophila visual system, enabling systematic investigations into how visual information is processed and relayed ...

The 'kynurenine pathway' is a series of chemical reactions that processes tryptophan, an amino acid found in foods. When tryptophan is broken down, it can take two routes in the brain: one that ...

A recent study published in Psychophysiology provides new insights into how stimulating the vagus nerve through the ear might influence brain function. Researchers found that a single 30-minute ...

The study detected a marked decrease in nerve cell connections in the brain – known as synaptic density – among individuals at risk of psychosis compared to a healthy control group.

Yu reviewed the benefits and limitations of various electrophysiologic technologies in a diverse group of inflammatory conditions affecting the retina and optic nerve. Ophthalmic electrophysiology ...

She now thinks that the “brain fog” and memory struggles she had been having were due to the cyst, which was located on her short-term memory pathway ... against the optic nerve, causing ...

The low-flying drones are tied to the ground via thin fiber-optic cables that unwind as the drone flies farther from the controller. Unlike radio-controlled drones, fiber-optic drones cannot be ...

She believes her memory struggles and fogginess to her vision was related to the cyst, which was located on her short-term memory pathway ... Brain tumours can exert pressure on the optic nerve ...

attacking by mistake the protective layer of the nerve fibres. Parkinson's Disease: This is a slow-moving slowness with tremor and stiffness due to the loss of brain cells producing dopamine ...
