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 ...

Four tiny 3D organs connected themselves in a lab dish, forming a replica of the human pain pathway, in a new study. The discovery allows scientists to better understand chronic pain and how pain ...

According to current data, migraines are one of the most common neurological disorders worldwide and in the United States. Worldwide, migraines affect about 40% of the population (3.1 billion people).

Up to 48 hours before a migraine, this region becomes overactive, disrupting functions it normally regulates like sleep and ...

Scientists have discovered a brain circuit that gives pain its emotional sting, explaining why some hurts linger as suffering. The breakthrough challenges our beliefs about how we process pain and may ...

In a new discovery, chronic pain has been shown to be physiologically different from acute pain and now scientists have the roadmap for how to target it. Researchers from the University of Aberdeen, ...

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

Researchers have uncovered a neural pathway preferentially involved in pain perception across species. The study was led by Profs. Tu Yiheng and Hu Li from the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese ...
