A KAIST research team has identified, for the first time, a brain circuit specifically responsible for forming fear memories ...

Fear memories can form in the brain following exposure to threatening situations such as natural disasters, accidents, or ...

Sensory overload is when your five senses — sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste — take in more information than your brain can process. When your brain is overwhelmed by this input, it ...

Yes, it can. The trigeminal nerve may contribute to migraine because it can be overly responsive to stimuli, which could trigger an attack. You can calm a trigeminal nerve migraine attack by using ...

stimuli-evoked behaviors at various levels of sensory processing. Finally, we characterize how stimulus-evoked muscle contractions lead to cold nociceptive behavioral response. Our findings provide ...

Urticaria, or hives, is a common type of rash characterized by the formation of raised, red, itchy bumps on the skin. Urticaria is commonly associated with an allergy to food, medications, and other ...

Conscious perception is the ability of human beings to become aware of the stimuli received by their senses. It is a different state from simply being awake, where sensations are processed ...

Inflamed tissues possess unique microenvironmental characteristics (including excessive reactive oxygen species, low pH levels, and hypoxia) that stimuli-responsive nanoparticles can employ as ...

Pain and temperature stimuli activate neurons of lamina I ... All 12 fusiform cells were nociceptive-specific, responsive only to pinch and/or heat. All 11 pyramidal cells were thermoreceptive ...

Trillions in postpandemic stimuli present a prime opportunity to shape a climate-proof and equitable future. Herein, we compare the economic effectiveness and equity impacts of currently pledged ...

The demonstration that the same class of somatosensory neurons can respond to innocuous versus noxious stimuli, depending upon which protein those neurons are activated, could shed light on disease ...
