A study by Xiaowei Gu and Joshua Johansen at RIKEN identifies neural pathways in the rat brain for learning inferred emotions ...

Researchers have discovered how inferred emotions are learned. The study shows that the frontal part of the brain coordinates ...

There is tremendous interest in the question of how salient, emotional and socially-charged visual stimuli are processed by the brain ... cortex and that culminates in the amygdala by way of ...

Research reveals how the brain divides visual input between hemispheres, then seamlessly reconnects it to create a unified, ...

the researchers observed that the affected brain regions appear to form part of the same brain circuit: the amygdala–hippocampus–medial prefrontal cortex circuit. This suggests that while the ...

And through pathways of nerve connection to other areas of the brain, the response weakens activity of the brain’s decision-making center in the prefrontal cortex. Overcoming addiction usually ...
