Pain is an important physiological response in living organisms. While physical pain is an outcome of tissue damage, pain can manifest as diverse unpleasant sensory and emotional experiences.

An international team of scientists has identified the neural mechanisms through which sound blunts pain in mice. The newly reported research, led by teams at the National Institute of Dental and ...

An international team of scientists has identified the neural mechanisms through which sound blunts pain in mice. The findings, which could inform development of safer methods to treat pain, were ...

After a week of stress, mice show changes in how their brains process sound, reducing how well they perceive loud noises, according to a new study. After a week of stress, mice show changes in how ...

Nestled in dark burrows, with a limited sense of vision, mice brush their whiskers against their environment to navigate and to detect objects around them. This behavior, termed whisking, has been ...

Broadband sounds embedded with short pauses can maintain temporal sound processing in a mouse model of hearing loss, according to new research published in eNeuro. Hearing loss treatments supplement ...

When noninvasive sound waves break apart tumors, they trigger an immune response in mice. By breaking down the cell wall 'cloak,' the treatment exposes cancer cell markers that had previously been ...

New research in mice demonstrates that pain relief by sound is not purely attributable to stress reduction and distraction; the study reveals a neural circuit underlying sound-induced analgesia in the ...
