A new study reveals that aggression and self-harm share a biological foundation in the brain’s response to early-life trauma.

What if the brain's response to stress could be read not in fleeting neurotransmitter bursts, but in the quieting of genes ...

Noise as loud as 85 to 100 decibels over time led to irreversible motor defects and loss of dopamine neurons in a mouse model ...

Neurons in the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus that express the cholecystokinin b receptor (VMH Cckbr neurons) appear to support glucose production during hypoglycemia without broadly ...

In a groundbreaking study [1] published in Science, researchers from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and collaborators unveiled the first high-resolution atlas of how enteric neurons adapt to ...

This fundamental work provides novel insights into the blood flow-dependent mechanisms of neuronal migration and the role of Ghrelin signaling in the adult brain. The authors present convincing ...

Satiety, the sensation of being full, or sated, is an important neurobiological process for maintaining body weight, but individuals can still have the desire to eat sweet, high-sugar-containing foods ...

Certain brain cells are responsible for coordinating smooth, controlled movements of the body. But when those cells are constantly overactivated for weeks on end, they degenerate and ultimately die.
