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 ...

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

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 ...

A UCLA-led team of researchers has found nerve pathways that supply brown adipose tissue (BAT), a type of tissue that releases chemical energy from fat metabolism as heat – a finding that could pave ...

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

In diabetes, much attention goes to sugar control, insulin levels, and the threat of nerve damage. But a new study reveals something often overlooked—how the breakdown of nerve function in diabetes ...

University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and Yale University School of Medicine, along with other collaborators, report that lung adenocarcinoma can engage nerve pathways that link the ...

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 ...

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 ...
