Fear memories can form in the brain following exposure to threatening situations such as natural disasters, accidents, or violence. When these memories become excessive or distorted, they can lead to ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

New research in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging identifies a novel neural pathway to treat alcohol use disorder. This figure shows areas in which tolcapone, relative to ...

“Understanding this pathway could provide new insights into developing solutions to treat neurodevelopmental disorders.” Using super high-resolution microscopy, the researchers examined the cellular ...

The wearable device delivers electrical impulses through a headset that can be administered by the patient at home under ...

Reelin is a secreted glycoprotein that plays a pivotal role in orchestrating brain development and maintaining synaptic integrity throughout life. By guiding neuronal migration during embryogenesis, ...

Stress worsens sleep quality and can impair memory. Shinjae Chung, from the University of Pennsylvania, led a study to explore a neural pathway in male mice that stress may influence to cause sleep ...

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience provides a detailed look at how the psychedelic drug psilocybin facilitates the unlearning of fear in the brain. The research reveals that the drug does ...

A recent study published in the journal MedComm reviewed the potential role of the gut microbiota-brain axis (GBA) in neurological disorders. Microbiota is a crucial determinant of human health and ...
