A new study suggests that the spinal cord can differentiate types of pain before the brain is even aware of the injury.

Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny cells inside the body's smallest blood vessels may be a powerful spinal cord repair ...

The data convincingly show that the transcription factor Sp1 regulates ephrin-mediated axon guidance in the spinal cord. Although the authors show that Sp1 and its co-activators p300 and CBP are ...

Scientists develop lab-grown model of the human sensory pathway to investigate how pain signals are transmitted to the brain.

The research team at the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences confirmed the ...

Researchers have recreated the human ascending sensory pathway in a lab dish, using organoids that model the key brain and ...

STANFORD researchers have grown one of the most important neural pain pathways outside the human body – a medical ...

Immediate use for the newly developed assembloids could include studying neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism.

A pathway with several stops The model is the result of an effort to re-create the signaling chain that occurs after exposure to painful stimuli, says Dr. Sergiu Pașca, a professor at Stanford ...

"Then the spinal cord will relay it up to the thalamus deep in the brain, and then all the way to the outer layer of the brain, which is the cortex." To approximate this pathway in the lab ...
