Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells in or around the brain. They can be primary (originating in the brain) or secondary (metastatic, spreading to the brain from cancer elsewhere). They can also ...

A nerve injury activates a brain pathway that turns short-term pain into chronic pain. Blocking this signal may prevent long-term pain.

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries.

A neural circuit, called the caudal granular insular complex, in an understudied region of the brain plays a critical role in turning temporary pain into chronic pain.

For one in five Americans, chronic pain is inescapable. But a new study from the University of Colorado at Boulder points ...

A neural circuit hidden in an understudied region of the brain plays a critical role in turning temporary pain into pain that can last months or years, according to new University of Colorado Boulder ...
