New insights into the opposing actions of serotonin-producing nerve fibers in mice could lead to drugs for treating addiction and major depression. Scientists in Japan have identified a nerve pathway ...

Vagus nerve stimulation may treat many diseases by changing brain signals, inflammation, and organ communication.

Florida State University researchers Patrick Stover and Regan Bailey have published findings showing that quadrupling the ...

Researchers in Japan have identified a nerve pathway in mice involved in the processing of rewarding and distressing stimuli and situations. The pathway, originating in a bundle of brain stem nerve ...

Researchers have mapped the complex nerve pathways that supply brown adipose tissue, otherwise known as ‘brown fat'. It’s the first step in developing a way of stimulating the nerves to burn fat as a ...

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.

The vagus nerve sits at the crossroads of brain–body communication, shaping how we regulate stress, inflammation and core physiological functions. While the vagus nerve profoundly influences health ...

Lion’s mane has surged in popularity as a cognitive and longevity supplement, but its appeal extends beyond focus and productivity. This functional mushroom interacts with nerve growth pathways, ...

Men and women experience pain differently, and until now, scientists didn’t know why. New research says it may be in part due to differences in male and female nerve cells. Pain-sensing nerve cells ...
