From a pinprick to a warm breeze, every sensation you perceive begins its journey along this ascending sensory pathway. For the first time, scientists have recreated the entire human nervous system’s ...

Using advanced microscopes that capture brain cell anatomy and activity, a portion of a mouse's brain was mapped and rendered ...

Immediate use for the newly developed assembloids could include studying neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism.

See α-Synuclein. Candidate tracer SY08 detects α-synuclein deposits in the brainstem (right) and parietal cortex (left) of people with Parkinson’s (middle) and dementia with Lewy bodies (bottom), but ...

An AI-powered brain-computer interface (BCI) solution translates brain activity into synthesized speech at nearly real-time ...

Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This ...

A map of part of a mouse brain, which is expected to be generalisable to people, could help scientists understand behaviours, ...

The hypothalamus is a small but critical region at the base of the brain that controls the autonomic nervous system, ...

Beijing Normal University-led researchers have identified specific high-order thalamic nuclei that drive human conscious ...

Despite being the brain’s central relay hub, the thalamus has been underexplored. New work shows that the thalamus can update its own connections, independently of the cortex.

Thalamic regions drive conscious perception by syncing with the prefrontal cortex, acting as a gateway to awareness. Using ...

A new study using intracranial recordings in humans reveals that the thalamus, particularly its higher-order regions, plays a ...
