Scientists have pinpointed a brain circuit that, when activated, reduces anxiety without impairing memory. Using ...

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have identified a brain circuit linked to anxiety that may provide a new drug target, ...

The team found that in one of the BLA circuits, which runs from a brain region called the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, ...

amygdala and insula in an inverted U-shaped manner. Functional connectivity between the putamen and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) correlated positively with BMI, whereas that of ...

However, the genes that govern connectivity between the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex have ... claustrum, insula and piriform cortex. The basolateral amygdala contains a range of cell types ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have made promising advances in understanding how to reduce anxiety through specific ...

One of the most appealing aspects of poker is the psychological battles between players. Through well timed bluffs and ...

These include parts of the prefrontal cortex (important for ... and an area that receives input from the amygdala (the insular cortex), has been found in a number of anxiety disorders.

A number of neural structures play a role in anxiety, but the one that gives it its strong emotional color is the amygdala. The rational, thinking prefrontal cortex is responsible for interpreting ...

This area of the brain links the prefrontal cortex with the limbic system and is involved in top-down processes such as control of attention. Another key area affected is the insula, which plays a ...

In initial experiments, they confirmed that a portion of the amygdala known as the basolateral ... a brain region called the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, activating mGluR2 signaling reduced ...
