The brain of humans and other animals is known to contribute to the protection of the body from infections. Past studies have ...

Our brain does not go through life in a linear fashion. A vast mapping of neural wiring, established from thousands of ...

Everyone has experienced a change in their pace and depth of breathing in an anxious or painful situation. Yet, the neural circuitry between this tight physiological coordination was not clear. A team ...

During each of these phases, our brains show markedly different characteristics in their architecture, according to the new ...

Extensive research in human cognitive neuroscience has enabled detailed documentation of the functional organization of the cortex. This organization represents regions that are specifically engaged ...

At 32, the biggest shift kicks in. The brain hits a period of “peak” efficiency, meaning regions of the brain are using the ...

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 ...

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMS), i.e., laminin-1 or N-cadhedrin Adhesion and attractant Allow cells to grow along the surfaces of other cells (such as using pioneering axons for subsequent axons) ...

image: Mice engage in grooming behavior, experiencing a phenomenon researchers call pleasant touch. Researchers from the Washington University Center for the Study of Itch and Sensory Disorders have ...

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; ...
