Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying associative threat learning is essential for advancing behavioral models of threat and adaptation. We investigated distinct activation patterns across ...

Long-term 17α-estradiol modulates aged male hypothalamic function via HPG axis and energy metabolism, mitigating aging-related neuronal changes.

What makes the human brain different from that of other primates has long been a question. A new study suggests that the answer may be in a surprising twist of evolutionary fate: one of the brain’s ...

Stanford study finds rapid brain cell evolution boosted human cognition but lowered autism gene activity, raising vulnerability.

The shorter daylight hours at the onset of fall lead to changes in our daily routines; however, they can also affect physical and mental health.

Lab-grown brain cells improved stroke recovery in mice by repairing circuits and reducing damage. Human trials could follow within 5–7 years.

Research on rare post-mortem brain tissue shows changes in gene activity, offering new insight into the biological basis of depression. Researchers from McGill University and the Douglas Institute hav ...

Uncover the research revealing the connection from depression to specific altered brain cells that affect millions worldwide.

For millennia, aging has been viewed as an immutable, inevitable decline. However, a scientific revolution is underway, reframing aging not as a destiny to be ...
