The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

Four tiny 3D organs connected themselves in a lab dish, forming a replica of the human pain pathway, in a new study. The discovery allows scientists to better understand chronic pain and how pain ...

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.

For millions of people, losing their sense of smell quietly reshapes daily life. Meals lose nuance, familiar places feel ...

Voice processing is an evolutionary preserved process. Voice-specific responses are already present in utero and voice-specific brain responses develop early in human life - even before birth, the ...

Animals, including humans, rely on multiple senses to navigate their environments and make decisions. This integration of ...

When it comes to indoor air quality, perception often begins with the senses. The latest research shows that Americans pay close attention to what they can smell or see in a room, relying on those ...

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 ...
