Our ability to store information about familiar objects depends on the connection between visual and language processing regions in the brain, according to a new study.
A study shows a non-opioid pain reliever blocks pain at its source -- calming specific nerve signals that send pain messages to the brain. In mice,...
A study reveals that inflammation associated with Marfan syndrome increases vulnerability to neurological diseases and complications following strokes, as demonstrated in animal models.
Researchers have shown in mice that brain cells known as astrocytes are required for a signaling chemical called norepinephrine to modify brain activity, changing the textbook...
Humans perceive and navigate the world around us with the help of our five senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. And while scientists have long...
One of the world's leading causes of irreversible vision loss could begin with elevated eye pressure, according to a recent study.
