Osteoporosis medication PTH treats chronic back pain in mice by preventing nerve growth into degenerating spinal bone.

An “extraordinary” brain network discovery shows that Parkinson’s disease may not be a movement disorder after all ...

Can the brain function when its architecture is altered? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) demonstrates that ...

The first node sits in the peripheral nervous system. Sensory neurons in the vagus nerve detect damage in the heart and send signals upward. The researchers focused on a subset of vagal sensory ...

Modern neuroscience and the computational modeling of the activities of vast, integrated neural networks provide fruitful accounts of how our minds work and learn.

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the brain developed during ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...
