What if your brain is the reason some pain feels unbearable? Scientists at the Salk Institute have discovered a hidden brain ...

Studies have shown that the symptoms of depressive patients avoiding social relationships are not just mood problems, but ...

While the Harvard University scientists reported how another population of brain cells, anti-goal neurons, helps the fly correct its path when it strayed far from its target, the Rockefeller ...

The neural circuit that stimulates mothers to look after crying offspring has been identified in mice — along with a mechanism that promotes maternal behaviour only after prolonged calls from pups.

The NEW nVista 2P miniscope leverages two-photon technology to capture neural circuit activity at higher resolution and deeper tissue levels than one-photon methods, all during freely behaving tasks.

Recently, researchers led by Dayu Lin, a neuroscientist at New York University, characterized a hypothalamic brain circuit that regulates social avoidance in mice and uncovered the essential role of ...

As I studied the brain scans of two people, one suffering from Post Traumatic Stress (PTS) and one not, Dr. Amit Etkin explained the difference. When presented with a conflict, the brain sans ...

The connectivity of the neural circuit between the superior colliculus and the ventral tegmental area in the brain was predictive of cognitive development in the following year. This finding opens the ...

A trip to Stanford gives a look into the work of Dr. Amit Etkin and Stanford's NeuroCircuit Group.

Researchers identified a neural circuit defect in ASD that impairs the ability to redirect attention, crucial for social learning. The study suggests that interventions targeting this circuit could ...
