Summary: A massive study of over 2.2 million individuals has fundamentally redefined how we understand the genetics of addiction. The research reveals that most genetic risk for substance use ...

New research reveals that while our memory centers are constantly shifting, our internal compass remains frozen in time to keep our world stable.

Researchers discover that the prefrontal cortex models the behavior of social partners, allowing groups to self-correct and maintain collective survival during hardship.

Researchers discover a new dopamine signal in the striatum that acts as a guidance system, encoding trajectory errors to steer behavior toward goals.

Harmonious chord progressions strengthen neural activity in social brain regions during face-to-face interaction, promoting biological bonding.

Researchers identify the hippocampus and microglia as the "tipping point" that determines if chronic pain leads to depression or resilience.

Researchers discover the SELK neuron, a single-cell decision-maker in fruit flies that weighs sweet vs. bitter signals to determine whether to eat or flee.

New research identifies a specific neural pathway (Pdyn+ neurons) that carries stress signals from the brain to the skin, triggering eczema flares by activating eosinophils.

Researchers discover that the brain proactively builds sentence structures during speech using predictive processing, explaining why second-language listening is difficult.

International researchers develop NTAC, an AI that identifies neuronal types with 90% accuracy based purely on synaptic connectivity, outperforming traditional shape-based methods.

Researchers discover that a mutation in the grin2a gene impairs a thalamocortical brain circuit, preventing the brain from ...

Researchers develop TRFS, a non-invasive radio frequency technique that can suppress or excite deep-brain activity to treat depression, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s.
