Early-life stress can disrupt brain's reward circuits: Research
Updated : 3 years ago IST
A novel brain link may provide a new therapeutic target for the treatment of mental illness by explaining how early stress and adversity cause the reward circuit in the brain to function improperly. This circuit's dysfunction is regarded to be the root cause of a number of severe illnesses,

Scientists identify neural circuit that enables self-localization in zebra
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
A multiregional brain circuit allows larval zebrafish to track where they are, where they've been, and how to get back to their original location after being displaced, researchers report December 22 in the journal Cell. The results shed light on how larval zebrafish track their own location

Ubiquitous nutrients suppress appetite and promote movement
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
In experiments on mice, researchers show that non-essential amino acids act as appetite suppressants and promote the urge to move. Their research provides insight into the neural mechanism that controls this behaviour.

Research shows how stress affects brain
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
At one time or another, we've all felt paralyzed by a threat or danger. Researchers from the University of Iowa have determined the origin of that response to a threat. According to a recent study, a neural circuit connecting two distinct brain regions controls how animals, including humans,
