They found that such learning does much more than adjust activity levels, it sculpts the circuit's wiring, refining the conversation between brain regions. A landmark study published by scientists ...

These structural changes were consistent across insomnia, depression and anxiety, suggesting a shared brain mechanism that may contribute to the comorbidity of these conditions. The outer layer of ...

"This reversibility and the ability to target synapses so specifically make this method uniquely powerful for studying brain circuits," Arnold said. While potential therapeutic use is still far ...

The study states that motor learning does much more than adjust brain activity levels; it also forms the circuit's wiring, which refines cellular communication between the thalamus and cortex.

Although the specific brain regions activated during creativity tasks varied widely across studies, the researchers found that a large majority—86%—shared a connection to a common brain circuit.

Addiction decreases the brain’s ability to experience natural, healthy pleasure, driving increased cravings and compulsive substance use. But can this brain deficit be healed? New research from ...

You know how it goes online. One minute, you’re basking in the blessed corner—all kittens, feel-good stories, sunshine and rainbows. Blink, and suddenly you’re knee-deep in the cursed zone.

Could there be a shared brain mechanism behind this phenomenon ... they all turn out to be part of the same circuit (amygdala–hippocampus–medial prefrontal cortex circuit).
