Summary: New research reveals how oxytocin profoundly influences social behavior and emotional responses in the brain. Animal ...

This important study leverages the power of Drosophila genetics and sparsely-labeled neurons to propose a new model for neuronal injury signaling. The authors present convincing evidence to support ...

Subtle activation of a small subset of neurons in one region of the brain can make male mice resilient to, and even reverse, the detrimental effects of chronic stress. The same is true for female mice ...

Experiments involving people with epilepsy have revealed the brain’s electrical circuits that enable it to distinguish self-generated sounds, like one’s own voice, from background noise. These signals ...

The assembly and maintenance of neural circuits is crucial for proper brain function. Although the assembly of brain circuits has been ... Tbx21::DTA and Tbx21::iDTR mice did not initiate a fight when ...

This map, now the most detailed high-resolution 3D representation of the foetal brain, shows how it undergoes rapid growth during this critical stage and can detect possibilities of brain disorders ...

Research published in 2024 demonstrated that dance promotes these benefits by changing brain activity. The experiment included adults over age 55 who ... and cardiovascular health. 7. Reduces Stress ...

Neuroscientists at the Salk Institute have now, for the first time, identified a specific brain circuit that regulates ... or post-traumatic stress disorders. Read the full story here.

But in humans, the technical challenges of identifying and analyzing new neurons in adult brains, combined with their rarity, had led scientists to doubt their significance to brain function.

"This study used MRI and brain stimulation to map the macroscopic brain circuits responsible for stopping inappropriate actions, or response inhibition. We specifically looked at how visual ...

A distinct brain signature could be behind a hallmark symptom of depression. Plus, we explore how artificial intelligence is powering research.

Scientists pinpoint brain circuits linked to either resilience or vulnerability to adversity, which affect a stressed animal’s pursuit of pleasure. Skip to main content Thank you for visiting ...
