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.
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 ...

New research suggests pain is not a simple signal of injury but a process that unfolds across nerves, spinal cord, and brain.
Introduction: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder causing progressive motor neuron death in cortex, brainstem and spinal cord. The most common genetic cause is ...
Dr. Friese is being honored for his pioneering work discovering how inflammation is associated with nerve cell death in multiple sclerosis.
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by polyglutamine repeat expansion in the ATXN3 gene. Despite the ubiquitous expression of ATXN3 throughout the body, SCA3 ...
