The race to understand the brain has just crossed a threshold that once belonged to science fiction. Using one of the world’s ...

Scientists found that neurons release an enzyme called VLK outside the cell to trigger pain without affecting normal movement. Removing VLK in mice greatly reduced post-surgery pain, pointing to a ...

At the microscopic scale, the process behind muscle repair becomes increasingly complex. Healing also varies depending on the type of damage involved, as the body responds very differently to an acute ...

Researchers at Tulane University, with a team of colleagues from eight other universities, have discovered a new nerve cell signaling mechanism that could transform our understanding of pain and lead ...

Neuropathic pain, a chronic condition resulting from nervous system lesions or diseases, remains a formidable clinical challenge due to its complex and ...

All starting from the same DNA, neurons ultimately take on individual characteristics in the brain and body. Differences in ...

A newly discovered neuron-released enzyme could transform pain treatment and reveal deeper secrets of how the brain learns.

Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas' Center for Advanced Pain Studies (CAPS) and their colleagues have made a ...

The authors have performed a potentially valuable new kind of analysis in connectomics, mapping to an interesting developmental problem of synaptic input to sensory neurons. While the analysis itself ...

GT-02287 reduces mitochondrial stress and enhances neuronal survival in MPP+ treated rat dopaminergic neuronsGT-02287 decreases staining for ...

The entire body of a sea urchin is what researchers are now calling an “all-body brain,” with neurons that function as a ...

Researchers have created one of the most detailed virtual mouse cortex simulations ever achieved by combining massive ...
