Findings reveal how the brain calculates controllability based on neural activity and behavior.
A new mouse study reveals stress impacts motor learning and may lead to the development of motor deficits. Stress, researchers say, leaves traces in the brain that may be permanent.
Mouse study reveals synaptic loss associated with a daily sleep-inducing dose of diazepam for several weeks leads to cognitive impairments. However, the effect was reversible after discontinuing benzodiazepine use.
Stress experienced during peripuberty leads to an increase in adipose fat and a reduction in sociability in young adolescents.

The prevalence of anxiety symptoms in children and adolescents has doubled since before the COVID pandemic.
Stress can be a precursor to other mental health disorders including depression and anxiety, as well as a factor for premature aging. Researchers discuss stress management techniques that can build resilience to stressors and could help protect against the impact stress has on the aging process.
At six months of age, babies born during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic scored lower on developmental screening tests for social and motor skills than children born before the pandemic.
Researchers explain how stimulating acupressure points on the face and body can help relieve stress.
