Within the brain are circuits of neurons that communicate with one ... dampening communication across the circuit. In a previous study, a tool known as GFE3 was developed that can specifically ...

Their findings, published in Brain, unveil the existence of a brain circuit that is associated with the intensity of people's political involvement, irrespective of their ideology or party ...

Lesions that cause secondary psychosis were most functionally similar to lesions that cause amnesia, though lesions that cause amnesia were more likely to be in the brain’s left hemisphere while ...

A new study has identified a common brain circuit for intensity of political involvement across the political spectrum. Researchers from Mass General Brigham assessed data from 124 male military ...

A team at Stanford University in California is the first to combine different neurons grown from human stem cells into a functioning brain circuit in a lab dish. Their experiments, published in ...

A new study in mice by MIT neuroscientists shows that the signal is the release of dopamine along a specific interregional brain circuit. The research therefore pinpoints a potentially critical ...

Scientists have recreated the brain circuit responsible for transmitting feelings of pain for the first time. The breakthrough, made by a team at Stanford University in the US, could help with ...

It is the first time that scientists have witnessed waves of electrical activity travel along the entire nervous pathway responsible for sensing pain – from the body’s skin to the brain.

But some people are more political and more politically passionate than others — partially thanks to the brain itself. According to a paper published in the journal Brain, there are circuits in our ...

Scientists have recreated the brain circuit responsible for transmitting feelings of pain for the first time. The breakthrough, made by a team at Stanford University in the US, could help with ...

"It suggests we may be able to improve quality of life by targeting the brain circuit." For acute illnesses such as infections, this inflammation-driven reduction in motivation may be adaptive ...

Dangers come but dangers also go and when they do, the brain has an "all-clear" signal that teaches it to extinguish its fear. A new study in mice by MIT neuroscientists shows that the signal is ...
