A neural circuit hidden in an understudied region of the brain plays a critical role in turning temporary pain into pain that ...
Nike claims its latest footwear can sharpen focus by stimulating sensory receptors in the feet. Backed by internal ...
The cortex is also known as the gray matter of the brain, which contains processing centers for various functions, such as the somatosensory cortex. This is the area where sensory impressions from the ...
A nerve injury activates a brain pathway that turns short-term pain into chronic pain. Blocking this signal may prevent long-term pain.
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 ...
Our body movements profoundly impact how our brain processes sensory information. Historically, it was believed that the brain's primary motor cortex played a key role in modulating sensory ...
The human brain ages less than thought and in layers – at least in the area of the cerebral cortex responsible for the sense of touch. Researchers at DZNE, the University of Magdeburg, and the Hertie ...
In a recent study published in the journal eLife, researchers evaluate the feasibility of optically pumped magnetometer-based magnetoencephalography (OPM-MEG) for monitoring neural oscillations during ...
