Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

Four tiny 3D organs connected themselves in a lab dish, forming a replica of the human pain pathway, in a new study. The discovery allows scientists to better understand chronic pain and how pain ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) secreted from sensory neuron-interneuron crosstalk is key to the spreading of inflammation across joints, acting as a neurotransmitter and inflammation enhancer. Adenosine ...

The human sense of touch is a complex system that integrates diverse sensations such as pain, temperature, and pleasant ...

Sepsis is a high-mortality disease that arises when the body’s immune reaction to pathogens causes multi-organ defects. Although infection-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines are indispensable for ...

Creative partners featured in the digital exhibition include Gil Castro, Simon Alexander-Adams, Emmett Feldman, Scott Pagano and Jose Pelz, who explore distinct aspects of brain function explored ...
