In a study published in Cell on July 10, researchers reported the first comprehensive study of whole-brain projectomes of the ...

New research shows a single neuron in fruit flies can trigger two distinct behaviors in response to the same smell.

Researchers have observed a mechanism in the brain that may ‘pump the brakes’ on acute pain to prevent overload while not inhibiting chronic pain at all.

A neuronal mechanism pumps the brakes on pain, but failure of these brakes can cause long-lasting pain. The discovery could ...

In a study published in Cell on July 10, a team from the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology (CEBSIT) of the Chinese ...

Why does a paper cut hurt for a moment, but a bad knee can ache for years? A study suggests the answer lies deep in the ...

chronic pain The team studied a small but crucial region in the brainstem called the medullary dorsal horn, home to neurons that act as a relay station for pain signals. These projection neurons help ...

A new study reveals that inhibitory neurons born later in development mature more quickly than earlier ones, allowing them to catch up and integrate evenly into neural networks.

In acute pain, IA increases – acting like a natural sedative for the pain pathways – but in chronic pain, this current ...

A team has made a major breakthrough in the field of three-dimensional (3D) imaging of large-scale biological tissues. They ...
