They hope it will help them find a way to treat those who struggle with long-lasting symptoms of stress. The researchers found that stress changes activity in a brain circuit in mice, and these ...

a larger brain region that includes the prelimbic cortex, of male mice resilient to stress and non-resilient mice. They examined the genes of both mouse types in stressed and unstressed states and ...

Salk Institute researchers discovered a brain circuit connecting the anterior cingulate cortex, pons and medulla, enabling voluntary breathing regulation. This circuit slows breathing and reduces ...
