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 ...

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.

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 ...

—–In an interview with MedPage Today, Dr. Kapoor, from the Department of Pain Management at Cleveland Clinic, discusses the role of implantation of a permanent neuromodulation device in management of ...

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 ...

In a study published in Science, researchers at Karolinska Institutet describe the neural processes behind how morphine relieves pain. This is valuable knowledge because the drug has such serious side ...

Scientists have discovered a brain circuit that gives pain its emotional sting, explaining why some hurts linger as suffering. The breakthrough challenges our beliefs about how we process pain and may ...

New research suggests spinal cord and brainstem are essential for processing touch signals as they travel to the brain The sense of touch is essential to almost everything we do, from routine tasks at ...

So when you touch a hot stove, the nerve endings in your fingers react instantly. But the ouch comes a split-second later, when that information finally reaches your brain. Well, now, scientists have ...

Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This laboratory model could be used to help explain certain pain syndromes, and ...
