A neuroimaging study involving participants from the fetal period up into the first four years of life found that the volume of the amygdala region of the brain increases with age and that this ...
Many studies have highlighted the negative health effects of stress, but a recent study sheds light on how chronic stress changes neuronal structure and function in the brain. Researchers from ...
Mammals can engage in a wide range of cooperative and aggressive social behaviors. These behaviors are known to be influenced by different neural circuits, yet the molecular underpinnings of these ...
One of the characteristics of depression is a tendency to perceive sensory stimuli and everyday situations in an excessively negative way. But the mechanisms underpinning this 'negativity bias,' which ...
Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have created a unique, cell-by-cell atlas of the amygdala, a small structure deep ...
Fear is an adaptive emotion that helps us cope with threatening situations. Deep within the temporal lobe of the brain is the amygdala, the most studied brain area involved in fear. The amygdala uses ...
The amygdala is a small, almond-shaped structure in the limbic system of our brain, known for its key function in the cascade of events associated with detecting threat. When the thalamus communicates ...
