The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

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 ...

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

Our body movements profoundly impact how our brain processes sensory information. Historically, it was believed that the brain's primary motor cortex played a key role in modulating sensory ...

The traditional understanding of inflammation attributes the process primarily to immune cells responding to tissue damage or pathogen invasion. However, a growing body of research has revealed a ...

Perry Elementary School Principal Stephanie Tear points out features of the school’s new sensory pathway. The shipwreck-themed path mimics an obstacle course, with short exercises for students to ...
