Researchers have identified a previously overlooked neural pathway that helps control human hand and arm movements. The discovery shows that signals guiding voluntary hand motion travel through deeper ...

Scientists discovered a smell receptor in mosquitoes that detects the plant compound borneol and triggers an immediate ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered that the constant gnawing of rodents isn't just a reflex or a consequence of a tough diet. It also triggers a release of dopamine in the brain ...

Researchers discover a neural circuit that rewards gnawing behavior with dopamine, explaining repetitive oral habits in animals and humans.

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 ...

The neural mechanisms of many symptoms associated with migraine have yet to be elucidated. New research suggests that a non-image-forming retinal pathway and signals from the dura mater contribute to ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have identified a previously uncharacterized neural circuit that directly links emotional processing to arousal. In the pathway, GABAergic neurons in the bed ...
