In a recent study published in Nature, researchers assessed the role of the airway-to-brain sensory pathways in influenza-induced illness. Infection with pathogens results in a syndrome characterized ...

The dominant theory in neuroscience has been that the sensory processing circuits in our brain are finalized in early childhood and fixed afterwards. A recently published study, however, overturned ...

Two independent research teams have successfully regenerated mouse brain circuits in mice using neurons grown from rat stem cells. Both studies, using interspecies blastocyst complementation to study ...

For the first time, scientists have generated a functional neural pathway for sensing pain in a dish. This could help unravel mechanisms of pain disorders. “This is important groundbreaking work,” ...

Stem cells derived from a patient's own fat offer a step toward improving - not just stabilizing - motor and sensory function of people with spinal cord injuries, according to early research from Mayo ...
