A new study reports a potential neurological link between adverse experiences in childhood and the negative thinking patterns ...

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 ...

For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to pinpoint the neural underpinnings of behavior and decision-making. Past ...

Researchers have uncovered remarkable new insights into the neural pathways of the brain that allow people to act to regulate their body temperature in response to changes in the environment. Their ...

B rain researchers long knew that the model for studying memory oversimplified the complex processes that the brain uses to ...

The neural pathways involved in syncope, or fainting, are not well understood. Studies in mice have identified a defined subset of vagal sensory neurons that connect the heart and brain. Stimulation ...

Because unpleasant withdrawal symptoms fuel nicotine addiction’s high relapse rate, targeting their underlying mechanisms with treatments may promote continued abstinence from the drug. In a new ...

When engineers build AI language models like GPT-5 from training data, at least two major processing features emerge: memorization (reciting exact text they’ve seen before, like famous quotes or ...

Two teams discover how small cell lung cancer hijacks neural pathways to proliferate faster, especially to the brain. Common ...
