A new study identifies gut bacteria that appears to interact with brain areas associated with mood and behavior.
A new neural model reveals how the brain is able to adapt and process new information, researchers report.
Study discussed the benefits of using psychedelics as an antidepressant option for those with depression.
A new study reveals the role the claustrum plays in cocaine addiction. Inhibiting claustral neurons prevented behavioral responses to cocaine in mouse models of addiction.
Researchers have identified a new role for the cerebellum. Rather than just helping to control muscle activity, the cerebellum may also play a critical role in cognitive functions.
Early-life exposure to antibiotics may impact brain signaling pathways associated with social behavior and pain regulation. Young mice treated with antibiotics had reduced expression of receptors that mediate endorphin, oxytocin, and vasopressin signaling in the frontal cortex.
Researchers have discovered a mechanism the brain uses to help compensate when noise obscures speech sounds.
Researchers report on why some people experience aphantasia, the inability to imagine in images.
Nineteen gene sets have been identified that contribute to at least five psychiatric disorders. The gene sets were associated with ADHD, ASD, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia.
Combining neuroimaging data with artificial intelligence technology, researchers have identified a complex network within the brain that comprehends the meaning of spoken sentences.
While adults build integrated memories based on existing inferences, children can separate memories they later compare to make inferences as they go.
Using optical neuroimaging, researchers gain a better understanding of visual working memory in young children.
