You have almost certainly lived this moment: stumbling through a morning after no sleep, locking eyes with someone in the ...
Short-term memories are thought to be formed deep within the brain in structures such as the hippocampus, but little is known ...
A newly identified group of amygdala neurons appears to play a central role in anxiety and social behavior. Restoring normal ...
Newly decoded brain circuits make memories more stable as part of learning, according to a study led by NYU Langone Health researchers. The entorhinal/hippocampal circuit is known from past studies to ...
A new technology called LinCx allows scientists to create custom electrical connections between neurons with high precision. Researchers say it may help treat disorders caused by damaged brain ...
The Allen Institute, together with partner organizations, today launched the Brain Health accelerator: an ambitious global research initiative seeking to identify the specific brain cells and circuits ...
New research in mice from scientists at New York University Langone Health (NYU Langone Health) and their colleagues elsewhere identifies brain circuits that make memories more stable during learning.
Scientists have recreated the brain circuit responsible for transmitting feelings of pain for the first time. The breakthrough, made by a team at Stanford University in the US, could help with ...
When the body runs low on protein, the gut sends powerful signals to the brain that reshape cravings and push animals to seek ...
Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have identified in a preclinical model a specific brain circuit whose inhibition appears to reduce anxiety without side effects. Their work suggests a new target ...
