Disruptions to this pathway, caused by genetics or environmental factors, can lead to chronic pain or the sensory hypersensitivity that often accompanies autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

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 ...

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 ...

As detailed in a Stanford-led study published in Nature, researchers successfully created a replica of a neuronal pathway responsible for pain transmission in a lab dish called an “assembloid.” ...

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 ...

Hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) are the most effective treatments for children suffering with unexplained abdominal pain ... Emma Children's Hospital, Amsterdam University ...
