Neural activity in the cortical amygdala determines whether mice engage in aggressive or pro-social behavior, according to a ...

A specific microbial metabolite in the gut microbiome that helps regulate brain activity is linked to anxiety, a new study in ...

New research shows that early life stress disrupts dopamine signaling, altering social motivation and behavior.

Nerve-cell ‘highways’ identified in mice suggest that stress pushes the brain towards rigid habit and away from thoughtful ...

Researchers have discovered that positive emotions enhance perceptual memories during sleep, particularly in the non-REM stage.

These neurons, which are located in the central nucleus of the amygdala, express a receptor ... the overexpression of the human NPBWR1 gene in mouse NPBWR1 neurons prevented the typical increase ...

The amygdala, a key brain region that regulates fear and anxiety, has been increasingly linked to the gut-brain axis. However, the precise causal relationship between gut microbes and anxiety-related ...

Animals, including humans, rely on multiple senses to navigate their environments and make decisions. This integration of ...

Scientists have discovered a direct link between gut microbes and anxiety-related behaviour. Microbial metabolites, ...

Slices of mouse brain that were kept at -150°C for up to a week have shown near-normal electrical activity after being warmed up. The results could take us a step closer towards cooling and ...

Behavioral responses were evaluated in the open field and three-chambered social test apparatus; the expression levels of AVP in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit, and the ...
