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 ...

Neural circuits associated with three cortical regions in cognitive generalization with different manifestations from different species. (A) Emotionrelated brain regions mainly project to PFC and OFC; ...

Stimulant medications and non-stimulant medications affect brain chemistry through different mechanisms”— Dr. Stanford ...

Researchers have discovered that mutations in the FOXJ3 gene act as a "master switch" failure, disrupting how the brain builds its layers and leading to FCD, a primary cause of drug-resistant epilepsy ...

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, ...

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

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and the Mechanobiology Institute (MBI) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered a novel pathway to wake up dormant neural stem cells, ...
