Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and the Mechanobiology Institute (MBI) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered a novel pathway to wake up dormant neural stem cells, ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified a promising new strategy for treating alcohol use disorder (AUD). A novel study found that the dopamine-boosting drug tolcapone increases activity in the prefrontal cortex ...

Stress worsens sleep quality and can impair memory. Shinjae Chung, from the University of Pennsylvania, led a study to explore a neural pathway in male mice that stress may influence to cause sleep ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Emotional states and stress strongly influence sleep-wake regulation. The amygdala and its related structures have long been implicated in regulating arousal. However, the underlying ...

The researchers used chemical signals to coax these cells into aggregating into tiny balls, called neural organoids, representing each of the four regions of the pathway. Each organoid was a bit less ...
