President Trump signed an executive order creating a women’s health division at NIH and a White House task force. The order directs agencies to use funding on critical women’s health…
NIH researchers have identified a neural circuit in the lateral septum that regulates social stress responses. By modulating this pathway, scientists were able to control resilience and susceptibility to social…
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have mapped a specific neural circuit in the central amygdala that functions as a control center for pain. By modulating this pathway, scientists…
Scientists at the National Institutes of Health have identified a specific neural circuit in the prefrontal cortex that regulates social dominance and hierarchy. By modulating this pathway, researchers were able…
NIH scientists have discovered that age-related mutations in blood stem cells, a condition called CHIP, significantly increase the risk of heart disease by triggering chronic inflammation. The study explains how…
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health and international partners have identified the hormone GDF15 as the primary cause of severe morning sickness. The study reveals that a woman's sensitivity…
Scientists at the NIH have discovered a direct neural pathway between the auditory cortex and the thalamus that allows low-intensity sound to suppress pain. The study reveals that sound-induced analgesia…
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health identified a genetic disorder called DADA2 that causes early-onset strokes and chronic inflammation. By pinpointing mutations in the ADA2 gene, the team developed…
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have identified a specific neural pathway that governs the placebo effect in pain management. By mapping the circuit between the anterior cingulate cortex…
