Scientists have recreated morphine-like pain relief in mice with a targeted therapy that avoids addiction-linked brain ...

New research demonstrates that electroacupuncture can significantly alleviate pain-induced anxiety- and depression-like behaviors by modulating specific excitatory neurons in the brain. Using a mouse ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have identified a specific brain circuit that plays a crucial role in deciding whether pain becomes chronic, a finding that could someday lead to new ...

A high-frequency brain signal in the frontal cortex is linked to OCD compulsions. Targeted deep brain stimulation rapidly reduced symptoms in severe cases.

Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggest that the compound prompts the reorganization of neural circuits in the retrosplenial cortex, a part of the brain located in the posterior ...

Two interconnected brain areas - the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex - help us to know where we are and to remember it later. By studying these brain areas, researchers at Baylor College of ...

For decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull.

A team of researchers in Japan has developed an artificial intelligence tool called YORU that can identify specific animal ...

Researchers studying obsessive-compulsive disorder have identified a specific brain signal that appears to precede the onset ...
