Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer worldwide, often producing shiny lesions on the skin that can be (but are not always) discolored. It develops in the basal cells, ...

Studies on healthy individuals and lesion studies have suggested that the following areas are important for empathy: ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPC), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), inferior frontal ...

At the same time, depressive behavior is linked to overactivation of the hypothalamus, which coordinates the stress response, and overactivity of the amygdala, which signals threat and generates ...

Reward signaling via dopamine is most commonly thought of as acting through neurons expressing either D1 or D2 dopamine receptors. Enriquez-Traba et al. show that neurons in the ventral striatum ...
