Trinity College Dublin researchers report controlled breathing, a key element of meditation, directly affects noradrenaline levels in the brain. The study suggests controlled breathing can enhance attention and improve overall brain health.
A new study reports the locus coerleus, a brain network that controls our ability to focus while under stress, appears to weaken as we age. This may explain why we find it more difficult to focus as we get older.
Researchers implicate the locus coeruleus in storing memories of stressful events.
MIT researchers have identified a brain network that allows the brain to record memories of new places.
RIKEN researchers report neurons in the locus coeruleus play a key role in emotional and flexible learning.
Researchers have identified a group of neurons that relay information from the brain's respiratory system to an areas of the brain associated with generating arousal.
Researchers describe the biological mechanism that drives flashbulb memories.
Findings have implications for learning methods and memory consolidation.
A new study reports the locus coeruleus, an area of the brain essential for maintaining cognitive function, is vulnerable to toxins and infections. This brain area appears to be the first place affected by late onset Alzheimer's.
A new study reveals a link between a vulnerability to depression and noradrenergic neurons.
According to a new study, brief exposure to mild trauma or sudden sounds can permanently alter neural networks and form long lasting memories.
Findings could help researchers develop new treatments for stressed induced anxiety and other disorders.
