A new study published in Nature Neuroscience has identified a brain circuit in mice that overrides basic needs like hunger or social contact in favor of seeking safety. Researchers found that a ...

Rats exhibit significant recovery of locomotor function following incomplete spinal cord injuries, albeit with altered gait expression and reduced speed and stepping frequency. These changes likely ...

The Large Hadron Collider is one of the biggest experiments in history, but it’s also one of the hardest to interpret. Unlike ...

Key Neural Pain-Sensing Pathway Recreated in a Lab Dish April 10, 2025 Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing ...

Neural pathway in mice sheds light on how the brain regulates learned immune responses by Ingrid Fadelli, Phys.org Editors' notes ...

By Dr. Chinta Sidharthan Although neurobiological studies have long studied the various regions of the brain, there was an absence of information on the interconnectedness between the regions and the ...

Two distinct neural pathways may make opioids like fentanyl so addictive A study in mice identified the brain circuits behind reward and withdrawal ...

To do this, they used an existing wiring diagram of every neural connection in the fruit fly brain to build a computational model of how these regions might be linked. With this model, they were able ...

Several experimental studies indicated that large conformational changes, including partial domain unfolding, have a role in the functional mechanisms of the basic helix loop helix Per/ARNT/SIM ...
