A new 'brain on a chip' study reveals the physical and biological mechanisms behind how the brain develops its folds.
New mouse study demonstrates animal research needs to take into account the interplay between behavior, genetics, and personality.
Beta-sitosterol, a natural plant-derived supplement, reduced anxiety in mouse models, both in stand-alone use and in combination with Prozac.
Researchers report the neural code of the prefrontal cortex is more efficient than the amygdala in both humans and primates. The lower resistance of the amygdala to errors in humans may play a role in exaggerated survival responses, such as those seen in anxiety and PTSD.
People on the autism spectrum appear to have different reactions to subliminal social odors, researchers report.
Hippocampal short-wave ripples trigger spontaneous recollections and reinstate cortical representation during free recall of episodic memories.
Mutations in the IL18RAP gene reduce inflammation and appears to protect the brain against ALS.
Researchers have developed a sniff test that can detect which patients in a vegetative state following a TBI will regain consciousness.
Findings may lead to better diagnosis and treatment for disorders related to chronic stress.
Women who experience unexplained repeated pregnancy loss (uRPL) process olfactory signals related to male body odor differently to other women. Those who experience uRPL are better able to identify the smell of their spouse.
People have a tendency to form friendships with others who have a similar natural body odor, a new study reports. Using an electronic eNose to "smell" body odor, researchers were able to predict the quality of social interaction between strangers.
Findings point to males and females undergo an almost separate, but interconnected evolution.
