Scientists studying the amygdala have found specific cell types linked to anxiety. This work may lead to treatments that target these cells directly, offering hope for more effective management of ...

Maternal experiences of racism were associated with stronger brain connectivity in newborns in functional networks linked to ...

Antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) are an established therapy for pregnant women at risk of preterm birth. Researchers have found that babies given ACS had notably smaller volumes of two key brain ...

The anatomy of the brain involves key regions including the brain stem, cerebellum, lobes of the cerebral cortex, and specific glands (the pituitary, for example) needed to maintain life and health.

The work is published Oct. 30 in the American Journal of Psychiatry. "The amygdala is central to emotion processing in the brain, and is known to contribute to fear and anxiety," said Drew Fox ...

The investigation represents a massive scientific effort, featuring an international team of 189 researchers who analyzed genetic data on 74,898 individual participants across 19 countries, as well as ...

We discovered hundreds of genetic variants that influence the size of structures, such as the amygdala (the "processing center" for emotions), the hippocampus and the thalamus (involved in ...

Moreover, altered BLA activity correlated with durable presynaptic connectivity changes coming from the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus, recently demonstrated as orchestrating valence ...

thalamus, nucleus accumbens, amygdala and the ventral diencephalon. What they found was that genetic expression impacts brain volume across different regions, and this appears to influence a ...

"To analyze how the amygdala functions during depression, we measured the activity of some networks of neurons involved in the more or less negative interpretation of olfactory stimuli," says Alonso.

The loose TV adaptation of the long-running Yakuza game series is already here after being announced in June. As a fan, I was initially both stoked and skeptical hearing the news: The games are ...
