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

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

When I began my master’s program in cognitive science, an electrical engineering professor told us—rather arrogantly—that the soul is nothing but neurons firing. “You’re deluded if you think otherwise ...

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

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