Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This laboratory model could be used to help explain certain pain syndromes, and ...

Researchers integrated four organoids that represent the four components of the human sensory pathway, along which pain signals are conveyed to the brain. Stimulation of the sensory organoid (top) by ...

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.

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

So when you touch a hot stove, the nerve endings in your fingers react instantly. But the ouch comes a split-second later, when that information finally reaches your brain. Well, now, scientists have ...

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 ...
