As humans and other animals experience new things, their brains continuously update their memory of past events. These ...

Researchers have identified a promising new strategy for treating alcohol use disorder (AUD). A novel study found that the dopamine-boosting drug tolcapone increases activity in the prefrontal cortex ...

Fear memories can form in the brain following exposure to threatening situations such as natural disasters, accidents, or violence. When these memories become excessive or distorted, they can lead to ...

Tumors do not communicate only with immune cells, blood vessels, and stromal tissue. A growing body of evidence suggests that cancer can also co-opt the nervous system, reshaping the tumor ...

Neural circuits associated with three cortical regions in cognitive generalization with different manifestations from different species. (A) Emotionrelated brain regions mainly project to PFC and OFC; ...

New research in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging identifies a novel neural pathway to treat alcohol use disorder. This figure shows areas in which tolcapone, relative to ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

Researchers use hIL-6 protein to restore walking in paralyzed mice by promoting neural circuit plasticity rather than fiber regrowth.
