The somatosensory cortex is a region of the mammalian brain known to play a crucial role in the processing of sensory information, including tactile sensations, temperature and pain. While this brain ...
When a mouse sweeps a single whisker across a textured surface, a tight cluster of neurons in its brain lights up within milliseconds. That cluster sits inside a grid of cortical columns, each one ...
The passage of time is sensed, perceived, and experienced, but—unlike for touch, vision, hearing, and olfaction—there exist no sensory receptors for time. This fact has long tantalized neuroscientists ...
Chronic pain has long been described as a matter of raw sensation, a persistent alarm that the body cannot switch off. But a ...
A man who had lost meaningful movement and sensation in his hands after a severe spinal cord injury was able to grasp objects, feed himself and experience touch again using an experimental system ...
Stanford researchers implanted lab-grown human brain tissue into newborn rats, where it matured, connected to neural circuits, and helped scientists study brain development and disease.
AbstractIn this paper, we re-evaluate the original scope of optogenetics as a cognitive science experimental tool, dispelling ...
An image of a beautiful beach conjures up certain sensations -- one can imagine the sun's warmth and the sound of waves breaking on the shore. But how is it that the brain produces these impressions ...
New research reveals that high-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation restores motor function and relieves neuropathic ...
