A new study reports on the role of HCN channels in pain processing.
Researchers uncover a key role of medial prefrontal cortex corticotropin-releasing factor interneurons for bidirectionally controlling motivated behavioral styles under stress. The findings could help in the development of new treatments for PTSD.
A new study reports on a key connection between two areas of an adult female vole's brain reward system that promotes pair bonding.
A new study reveals professional dancers' brains react more quickly to musical changes than professional musicians. EEG data reveals dancers display stronger synchronization at a lower theta frequency, which is linked to emotional and memory processing. The study backs up previous findings that indicate both the auditory and motor cortices of dancers develop in unique ways.
Researchers identify neurons in mice which determine resilience to depression.
Study identifies distinct neural processes that occur when we make decisions for the benefit of ourselves and of others.
Researchers have identified a brain network that may control the diversion of attention to focus on potential threats. Dopamine, they report, is key to the process.
Researchers report early indicators of depression and anxiety may be evident in the brain from birth.
Babies removed from their mothers for 24 hours when they were 9 days old exhibited significant behavioral and brain structural abnormalities in adulthood, a new study reports. Researchers noted memory impairment and less communication between specific brain regions in those removed from maternal care.
Researchers report increased activity in the medial prefrontal cortex is linked to decreased activity in the amygdala.
A new study reveals the cognitive and neurobiological processes that influence whether a person is likely to be a leader or follower.
Regardless of our origin or native language, researchers discover universal patterns of brain activity when people find meaning in a story.
