Pain is one of our senses – like vision, hearing, or taste. It aids our survival by identifying noxious and harmful stimuli. But unlike the other sensations, it's ethically challenging for us to study ...
A novel photobase generator is specifically designed for the fabrication of high-resolution sensing devices. Similarities in pain perception mechanism between thermoelectric-based artificial ...
Previous research has shown that people can miss salient stimuli outside the focus of their attention. This phenomenon, called inattentional blindness, typically is observed when people are given a ...
This blog post was written with contributions by Jamie Pribyl, DPT. Chronic pain is a condition in the nervous system where a light switch seemingly got turned on and never got turned off. Patients ...
New research suggests insects may experience emotion-like states, showing stress responses and even exhibiting pessimism or optimism. Studies indicate they respond to noxious stimuli with primitive ...
Researchers at the National Institute for Physiological Sciences compared functional properties of TRPA1 which serves as a receptor for noxious heat and chemicals among mosquito species. Thermal and ...
A University of Michigan-led research team has uncovered a neural network that enables Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies to convert external stimuli of varying intensities into a “yes or no” ...
Do you feel you are more sensitive to pain than most people? That you respond to painful stimuli more deeply and intensely than most others? Unsurprisingly, the basis of this sensory phenomenon is ...
