Have you ever felt a chill run down your spine while watching someone else in distress? This phenomenon, known as vicarious fear, allows us to experience fear by observing others—even when we are not ...

A neural circuit hidden in an understudied region of the brain plays a critical role in turning temporary pain into pain that ...

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 ...

Have you ever heard or read a word that’s either new to you or that you’ve not encountered, and suddenly it starts cropping up everywhere? This is true for me with the word neuroplasticity. It ...

Until now, scientists have struggled to understand how the brain processes these sensations separately, as they share overlapping neural pathways from the spinal cord to the brain. Both stimuli are ...

In a recent review published in the journal Current Biology, researchers examined the origins, mechanisms, and significance of interoception (the sensing and processing of internal bodily states) and ...

Penn State Altoona will launch its new “Research. Innovation. Skills. Engagement” (RISE) series on Thursday, Jan. 29, from 12 ...

These easy brain-based strategies help reduce stress and make daily life feel radically better, proving that real ...

UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development, providing new insights ...
