Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

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 ...

Scientists have visualized, for the first time, how a key sensory protein detects both cold temperatures and cooling compounds like menthol.

Perry Elementary School Principal Stephanie Tear points out features of the school’s new sensory pathway. The shipwreck-themed path mimics an obstacle course, with short exercises for students to ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of humans' most prominent nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body's skin to the ...

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 ...

Researchers found that a Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) A1 stimulant, 2-methylthiazoline (2MT), act as a potent insect repellent in Drosophila. 2MT induces aversive behaviors via olfactory, ...

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 at the University of Michigan have illuminated a complete sensory pathway showing how the skin communicates the temperature of its surroundings to the brain. This discovery, believed to be ...

A research team led by Félix Viana, co-director of the Sensory Transduction and Nociception laboratory at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint research centre of the Spanish National Research ...
