Unlearning fear responses is a fundamental learning process in the brain. It allows us to flexibly react to formerly ...
Neuroscientists identify a CRF-neuron "switch" in the brain's BNST region that, when activated, allows for significantly faster unlearning of fear responses.
A Dartmouth study challenges the conventional view that the amygdala—the two-sided structure deep in the brain involved in ...
In a comprehensive Genomic Press Interview, Dr. Munir Gunes Kutlu, Assistant Professor at Temple University's Center for Substance Abuse Research, unveils revolutionary findings about how our brains ...
A team of researchers from the University of Rochester, Yale University, and Princeton University has made a big stride in neuroscience. They have shown a method to induce learning through the direct ...
Life can be tricky. We have so many decisions to make. It's a good thing we have an orbitofrontal cortex and hippocampus to help us. These areas of the brain work together to help us sort through ...
The brain reinforces seizure networks during post-seizure sleep by hijacking the same mechanisms used for memory consolidation.
The team pinpointed the exact moment mice learned a new skill by observing the activity of individual neurons, confirming earlier work that suggested animals are fast learners that purposely test the ...
