Could Alzheimer’s Begin in the Nerves, Not the Brain?

Researchers using "human-on-a-chip" technology have found that Alzheimer's-related movement issues may start in the peripheral nerves, rather than the brain, offering a new path for early diagnosis.

The Brain Circuitry of Placebo Pain Relief

Researchers have pinpointed the brain's "placebo circuit." By training the brain to release its own endorphins in the vlPAG region, they achieved broad-spectrum pain relief without the need for addictive drugs.
