A new 'brain on a chip' study reveals the physical and biological mechanisms behind how the brain develops its folds. Read More
New mouse study demonstrates animal research needs to take into account the interplay between behavior, genetics, and personality. Read More
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. Read More
People on the autism spectrum appear to have different reactions to subliminal social odors, researchers report. Read More
Hippocampal short-wave ripples trigger spontaneous recollections and reinstate cortical representation during free recall of episodic memories. Read More
Researchers have developed a sniff test that can detect which patients in a vegetative state following a TBI will regain consciousness. Read More
Findings may lead to better diagnosis and treatment for disorders related to chronic stress. Read More
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. Read More
Findings point to males and females undergo an almost separate, but interconnected evolution. Read More
c-Fos accumulates in the nucleus of peripheral nerve cells of mouse models of chronic pain. Researchers identified around 30 existing drugs that appear to target the importin alpha-3-c-Fos pathway to help treat chronic pain. Read More
Researchers report helping the immune system clear away old senescent cells in aging mice helped to restore youthful characteristics. The findings could have implications for reversing the effects of aging in humans. Read More
A new study reports reducing the strength of communication between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex helps reduce fear levels in mice. Read More
