Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This laboratory model could be used to help explain certain pain syndromes, and ...

Norris, Jr., Professor II of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, describe their successful assembly of four miniaturized parts of the human nervous system to reconstitute what's known as the ascending ...

The peripheral sensation of pain travels to the brain in a relay involving nerve cells, or neurons, centered in four different regions of the ascending sensory pathway: the dorsal root ganglion ...

Researchers integrated four organoids that represent the four components of the human sensory pathway, along which pain signals are conveyed to the brain. Stimulation of the sensory organoid (top) by ...

Information about bodily sensations like pain, touch, itch, and movement gets conveyed from the periphery to the brain via the ascending sensory pathway. Disruptions to this pathway, caused by ...

New research, led by USC Stem Cell scientists, has identified key genetic barriers to sensory cell regeneration in the ear and eye, paving the way for future drug therapies to restore hearing and ...

In their experiments, the scientists demonstrated that the Hippo pathway also suppresses the regeneration of damaged sensory receptors in the ear and eye of adult mice. The scientists used an ...

The somatosensory system consists of the peripheral receptors and neural pathways through which the nervous system detects and processes information about touch (mechanoception), pain (nociception ...

Some of the same areas hit hard by a deadly storm two weeks ago could end up in the path of the next round of thunderstorms. While this weekend’s forecast doesn’t look to be as extreme ...
