For years, scientists have believed that compulsive behaviors happen when people become trapped in a "habit loop" that overrides self-control. But new ...

The researchers deployed a newly developed machine learning system called SIGNET – Statistical Inference on Gene Regulatory ...

Although it was previously thought that compulsive behavior is the result of a "habit cycle" that suppresses self-control, a ...

A new study shows that a lack of dietary fiber leads to rapid inflammation in the aging brain's amygdala, impairing emotional memory.
