University of California, Los Angeles researchers have discovered that chronic stress flips brain activity between two ...

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine researchers have discovered a dual regulatory mechanism safeguarding ...

Researchers have identified two distinct groups of neurons that help the brain evaluate risk and reward in decision-making.

Research in mice identifies brain circuitry that supports certain reward-based decisions.

Striatal dopamine (DA) release regulates reward-related learning and behavioural activation and is believed to consist of a short-lived phasic and continuous tonic component. Here, we build a ...

However, the role of modifier genes in the repeat expansion in brain cells remain untested in patients. In mouse models, previous studies show that mismatch repair genes confer high levels of ...

Anorexia nervosa is a serious mental health condition, characterized by restricted eating, fear of weight gain, and insidious ...

A new UCLA Health study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease ...
