Recent advances in neurobiology have demonstrated that both learning and environmental experiences, such as psychotherapy, ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have made promising advances in understanding how to reduce anxiety through specific brain circuitry, potentially leading to more effective treatments without the ...

A single missing molecule in the brain is emerging as a powerful new clue to why learning and memory are altered in Down ...

“This is a paradigm shift,” says Donn Van Deren, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, who ...

Depression and anxiety may heighten cardiovascular disease risk through chronic stress pathways in the brain and body.

New research in mice from scientists at New York University Langone Health (NYU Langone Health) and their colleagues elsewhere identifies brain circuits that make memories more stable during learning.

Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have identified in a preclinical model a specific brain circuit whose inhibition appears to reduce anxiety without side effects. Their work suggests a new target ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

Panic disorder is a debilitating condition characterized by sudden and overwhelming bouts of intense fear, often accompanied by physical symptoms such as heart palpitations, hyperventilation, and ...

Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a ...

A missing brain molecule may be disrupting neural wiring in Down syndrome, according to new research. Replacing it in adult mice rewired brain circuits and improved brain flexibility, challenging the ...
