The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

Scientists propose that the brain’s mysterious cross-wiring, which connects each hemisphere to the opposite side of the body, may have originated more than 500 million years ago in the visual systems ...

Why do people experience pain in their limbs or feel nauseous even without physical contact? Scientists have uncovered a ...

Here, based on what I have learned and thought about while aiming to become a clinical psychologist and counselor, I hope to ...

The tongue contains numerous taste buds—tiny sensory organs responsible for detecting taste. Taste buds consist of specialized cells that translate chemical stimuli into neural signals. Among them, ...

Sensory pathways in Drosophila to detect and avoid 2MT are shown. Flies escape from 2MT through olfactory, taste, and nociceptive sensory pathways. This study identified that TRPA1 expressed in taste ...

A preliminary study of 52,330 Israeli women found similar rates of heart attack, stroke, blood clots and early death among hormone therapy users and nonusers, though it cannot prove safety. Older ...
