DNA damage from inflammation outpaces the cells’ ability to self-repair. The finding, in human brain cells and mice, could ...

Researchers use hIL-6 protein to restore walking in paralyzed mice by promoting neural circuit plasticity rather than fiber regrowth.

Deep within the brain, scientists have uncovered a hidden “switch” that may decide whether pain fades away—or lingers for ...

Healing from any injury involves a delicate balance between scarring and inflammation — two processes that can wreak havoc as well as make repairs. When the injury is to the brain, the balance is that ...

Scientists trained mice to experience placebo pain relief, then traced the effect to a brain circuit that releases the body’s ...

Fish oil has long been praised as brain-boosting, but new research suggests the story may be more complicated. Scientists found that in people with repeated mild head injuries, a key omega-3 fatty ...

Researchers of the University of Granada have demonstrated that patients who have damage to the right prefrontal cortex of the brain -the part involved in anticipation and quick reaction to stimuli- ...

Researchers have identified a specific brain pathway that appears to sustain chronic pain long after injuries heal, reframing it as a circuit-level brain disorder. The caudal granular insular ...

It is now understood that the hippocampus is closely linked to learning and memory (Doidge, 2015; Suzuki, 2015). However, this was not always the case. One prominent experiment investigating memory, ...
