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 ...

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.

Soft sounds can soothe mice to a point where they don't feel pain, according to an international team of researchers working with the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research and China's ...

Alston’s singing mice produce loud, rhythmic songs that scientists can clearly hear, alongside ultrasonic calls used for close-range communication.

A technique that induces imaginary sounds in both mice and people could help scientists understand the brain circuits involved in schizophrenia and other disorders that cause hallucinations. The ...

Could people’s eyes and ears help fix the damage Alzheimer’s disease does to the brain? Just by looking at flashing light and listening to flickering sound? Flashing Lights and Sounds Improve Memory ...

A new study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reveals that male and female mice develop distinct sound preferences depending on their early auditory environment. When exposed as pups to ...

All mice squeak, but only some sing. Scotinomys teguina, aka Alston's singing mice, hail from the cloud forests of Costa Rica ...

ST. LOUIS — Songbirds may be the Sinatras of the animal world, but male mice can carry a tune too, say Washington University researchers who were surprised by what they heard. Scientists have known ...

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 ...
