Surprising events trigger the release of noradrenaline in the brain, helping to focus attention and learn from the experience.
The NTRK2 gene has been implicated in resilience to developing PTSD following psychologically traumatic events. Previous studies outlined the role NTRK2 plays in memory formation. Those with increased regulation of the gene developed fewer traumatic memories following traumatic experiences.
A new study sheds light on how the brain changes as a result of chronic stress. Selective noradrenaline release rewires connectivity patterns between different brain regions. Activity in the amygdala and networks that process sensory stimuli increased.
Glial cells and radial astrocytes might control the decision to give up swimming against the current in Zebrafish.
A new study reveals a unique population of corticotropin releasing factor neurons in female mice that may mediate differences in stress response.
Researchers look to transdermal electrical neuromodulation to help boost performance and memory.
Researchers report Yohimbine, a dietary supplement derived from tree bark, shows potential in the treatment of sleep apnea, especially for those with anxiety disorders and high blood pressure.
