Researchers have discovered a specific set of neurons in the amygdala that can trigger anxiety and social deficits when ...

Stress is not simply a response to acute stressful episodes. It occurs in the brain where a natural rhythmic pattern ...

Scientists developed a wireless brain implant smaller than a grain of sand that recorded neural activity in mice for 365 days ...

Researchers in Spain have identified a small cluster of overactive brain cells in the amygdala that can trigger anxiety and ...

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from ...

The authors used a Bayesian modeling framework to fit behavior and serotonin neuron activity to reward history across multiple timescales. A key goal was to distinguish value coding from other ...

Life depends on motion. To eat, go home, or explore, we must know where we are, where we want to go and how to get there. We ...

A new study reveals how brain circuits between the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus stabilize memories during learning.

Northwestern researchers were able to calm overactive neurons and restore neuronal activity, which could potentially slow the progression of disease.

A new Northwestern University study using patient nervous tissue and lab-grown human neurons has uncovered how a key disease ...
