The brain’s map of the body in the primary somatosensory cortex remains unchanged after amputation. A brain-imaging study of people with amputated arms has upended a long-standing belief: that the ...

Inside your body, an intricate communication network constantly monitors breathing, heart rate, digestion, and immune function — a hidden “sixth sense” called interoception. Now, Nobel laureate Ardem ...

Jiahe Zhang, PhD, of the Department of Psychiatry at Mass General Brigham, is the lead author of the paper published in Nature Neuroscience, "Cortical and subcortical mapping of the human ...

NIH invests $14.2 million to map interoception, the body’s hidden sixth sense, revealing how the brain monitors vital ...

A groundbreaking project will map the brain's hidden sixth sense. Scientists are creating an atlas of interoceptive neurons, the cells monitoring internal organs. This research aims to understand how ...

There is a growing body of evidence on the occupational health experiences of nail technicians, which can include musculoskeletal aches and pains (linked to poor ergonomic design), adverse respiratory ...

In a recent study published in the journal PNAS, researchers examined the relationship between cell size and count across the human body, establishing a quantitative framework and uncovering ...

This isn't just a fascinating discovery; it suggests that many of us may already be tapping into this remarkable ability without even realizing it, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the untapped ...

A brain-imaging study of people with amputated arms has upended a long-standing belief: that the brain’s map of the body reorganizes itself to compensate for missing body parts. Previous research had ...
