Within the human brain, movement is coordinated by a brain region called the striatum, which sends instructions to motor neurons in the brain. Those instructions are conveyed by two pathways, one that ...

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved in ...

Scientists have identified a protective brain pathway that may help slow the progression of Parkinson's disease by strengthening the brain's own dopamine‑producing neurons, but the positive effect was ...

In a groundbreaking study, a New York University Langone research team believes they have honed in on the brain pathways of a genetically determined repetitive motor behavior that is linked to autism.

Using multimodal brain imaging and organ-specific physiological markers from more than 18,000 adult participants of the UK Biobank database, this study reveals integrated pathways that explain the ...

Between the ages of three and four, children undergo a major leap in their ability to use grammar, and recent research provides evidence that this behavioral milestone corresponds to the maturation of ...

Neuronal pathways originating from the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) of the brain participate in different adaptive behaviors, but which pathways are used for distinct adaptive strategies remains unclear ...

The researchers found a pathway that connects the brain's stress centers to the region responsible for habits and decision‑making. The stress centers include two small regions deep in the brain called ...

Pain isn't just a physical sensation—it also carries emotional weight. That distress, anguish, and anxiety can turn a fleeting injury into long-term suffering. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...
