Studies reveal important principles through which the brainstem regulates satiation, and begin to shed light on the neural determinants of meal size.

Two brain regions work together when mice learn to override the instinct to run and hide from a potential threat.

Researchers have uncovered a neural mechanism in the brains of mice that enables them to override instinctive fear responses; dysfunction in this ...

Researchers have uncovered a neural mechanism in the brains of mice that enables them to override instinctive fear responses; dysfunction in this mechanism may contribute to inappropriate or excessive ...

Neurons in the brains of mice tell them to stop eating when they’ve had enough food – and since people probably have the same ...

Researcher suggest findings could help understand what happens in the brain when fear response regulation is impaired.

Female mice demonstrated similar shifts under the ... while inhibition blocked the stress-induced preference shift. In females, optogenetic stimulation of VTA-NAc projections with rapid, burst ...

As a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Susumu Tonegawa at MIT, Liu and graduate student Steve Ramirez used optogenetic techniques to identify the neurons involved in encoding fear memories in ...
