Neuroscientists at Stanford University have grown a tiny, two-centimeter-long ‘sausage’ made of human cells that may hold ...

Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This ...

A new neuroimaging study has revealed that viewing nature can help ease how people experience pain, by reducing the brain activity linked to pain perception. Published in the journal Nature ...

The researchers then used advanced machine learning to analyze raw sensory signals that the brain receives during periods of physical pain. Results showed that these signals were reduced when ...

Neuroscience examines the structure and function of the human ... to tackle questions such as the brain’s role in pain perception or the underlying cause of Parkinson’s disease.

Further analysis revealed that ACC neurons projecting to the periaqueductal gray (PAG), a brain region involved in fear and pain regulation, selectively conveyed emotional pain information.
