Scientists have identified a protective brain pathway that may help slow the progression of Parkinson's disease by strengthening the brain's own dopamine‑producing neurons, but the positive effect was ...

Neuronal pathways originating from the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) of the brain participate in different adaptive behaviors, but which pathways are used for distinct adaptive strategies remains unclear ...

In a groundbreaking study, a New York University Langone research team believes they have honed in on the brain pathways of a genetically determined repetitive motor behavior that is linked to autism.

Preclinical studies on animals have identified brain pathways that drive quick, protective fear responses to "scary" sounds. Emmanouela Kosteletou-Kassotaki and colleagues, from the University of ...

Pain isn't just a physical sensation—it also carries emotional weight. That distress, anguish, and anxiety can turn a fleeting injury into long-term suffering. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Between the ages of three and four, children undergo a major leap in their ability to use grammar, and recent research provides evidence that this behavioral milestone corresponds to the maturation of ...
