The smallest control system of vision in mammals has been mapped -- a discovery that opens entirely new insights into how our vision works and how it can be affected by disease.

Scientists develop lab-grown model of the human sensory pathway to investigate how pain signals are transmitted to the brain.

A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section of a mammalian brain. This feat, part of the MICrONS Project, rivals the ...

Researchers have recreated the human ascending sensory pathway in a lab dish, using organoids that model the key brain and ...

From a pinprick to a warm breeze, every sensation you perceive begins its journey along this ascending sensory pathway. For the first time, scientists have recreated the entire human nervous system’s ...

Genetics of the nervous system refers to the study of genetics affecting the development, physiology and functions of the nervous system and diseases thereof. New treatments for cocaine use ...

Organoids have revolutionized science and medicine, providing platforms for disease modeling, drug testing, and understanding developmental processes. While not exact replicas of human organs, they ...

Diseases of the nervous system refer to disorders that affect any part of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord or cranial nerves) or peripheral nervous system. Large-scale analyses of ...

Each part of the nervous system uses internal checks and balances to regulate its activity, responding to various factors like mood, health status, and the external environment.¹ These regulatory ...

Our bodies are full of nerves! How do they work? Why do we have an autonomic and a somatic nervous system? When do the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems kick in? And what's with the vagus nerve?

There are four foundational elements for building and maintaining a healthy nervous system. “A healthy nervous system is a nervous system that has a stress response that meets the level of the ...
