The researchers have now come a step closer to mapping this island by discovering the shortest-lived superheavy nucleus known so far, which marks the position of the island's shoreline in nuclei ...

A new milestone in nuclear physics has been achieved with the direct observation of three different deformations in the atomic nucleus of lead-190 (190 Pb). These deformations, associated with ...

Recent studies suggest that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) neurons in the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) represent aversive information and signal a general alarm to the forebrain. If CGRP neurons ...

The study found that a brain region called the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) plays a key role in managing this heightened sensitivity. Listen to Story This discovery may help in developing ...

PACAP is a neuropeptide involved in stress regulation, and the authors studied neurons in a part of the brain called the parabrachial nucleus that produce PACAP and project to the dorsal raphe ...

Key findings show the lateral parabrachial nucleus significantly influences pain processing and response while signals from the lateral hypothalamus can reduce pain responses. These insights could ...

The team found that a brain's part called lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) plays a key role in how animals process and deal with this pain. The researchers found that the LPBN works like a ...

Arnab Barik and his colleagues at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, have shown that cells in the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN), a critical hub of the brain’s pain circuits, ...
