“Optogenetics revolutionized how we all do experimental neuroscience in terms of exploring circuits,” says Thomas McHugh, a neuroscientist at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan. However, 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 ...
