A new study by Scripps Research reveals that alcohol dependence disrupts two signaling pathways in a stress-related part of ...

With the most wonderful — and for some, the most stressful — time of year underway, a University of Iowa researcher is ...

Within the human brain, movement is coordinated by a brain region called the striatum, which sends instructions to motor neurons in the brain. Those instructions are conveyed by two pathways, one that ...

Neurodegenerative disorders are pressing global health challenges that stem from progressive neuronal dysfunction and loss. While the central roles of ...

Pain isn't just a physical sensation—it also carries emotional weight. That distress, anguish, and anxiety can turn a fleeting injury into long-term suffering. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Tufts University School of Medicine researchers developed imaging technology that records neuronal activity throughout the brain during the first weeks of recovery. They discovered that a head injury ...

Guilt and shame arise from different cognitive triggers and rely on distinct neural systems to guide compensatory behavior.

For decades, neurology treated the brain like a black box, nudging it with drugs and hoping symptoms would ease. Now ...

Depression and anxiety may heighten cardiovascular disease risk through chronic stress pathways in the brain and body.

Rutgers researchers found that the distribution of neural timescales across the cortex plays a crucial role in how ...

In a groundbreaking study, a New York University Langone research team believes they have honed in on the brain pathways of a genetically determined repetitive motor behavior that is linked to autism.

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.
