This important study shows that the activity of hypothalamic hypocretin/orexin neurons (HONs) correlates with body movement over multiple behaviors. Sophisticated techniques and analyses showcase this ...

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

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

The team, from the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at University College London, designed an experiment to test escape behavior in ...

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

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 ...

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

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

New research reveals how the brain rapidly adapts to sensory changes using a feedback loop between the olfactory cortex and the olfactory bulb.

This important study assessed the effects of food intake on sharp wave-ripples in the hippocampus of mice during subsequent sleep. Solid evidence supports the conclusion that sharp wave-ripples are ...

Scientists have discovered that rhythmic oscillations of a specific neurotransmitter play a vital role in clearing toxic ...

Anxiety disorders, characterized by an excessive apprehension about real or perceived threats and dysfunctional behaviors aimed at avoiding these threats, are among the most common mental health ...
