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

The team found that in one of the BLA circuits, which runs from a brain region called the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, activating mGluR2 signaling ... for presynaptic mGluR2 in prefrontal- and ...

Cornell researchers have identified a specific brain circuit that could lead to anxiety treatments without cognitive side ...

Beyond the expected, like morning sickness and weird food cravings, pregnancy can cause all sorts of bizarre changes in the ...

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 ...

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 ...
