Mila Minotti said she was left "a little shocked" by what happened with her partner as they left the hospital that day.

The cerebral cortex forms the outer layer of the cerebrum. Nested deeper within the brain are essential structures such as the basal ganglia, the amygdala, and the hippocampus. Toward the bottom ...

Understanding the neural circuits that drive anxiety may help researchers discover circuit-specific targets and therefore ...

A new study shows that the cerebral cortex acts as a "memory machine," constantly detecting novel stimuli to refine its predictions of the future.

Researchers at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre (SWC) at UCL have unveiled the precise brain mechanisms that enable animals to ...

Researchers have identified brain mechanisms that help animals suppress instinctive fear responses when threats prove ...

Researchers have unveiled the precise brain mechanisms that enable animals to overcome instinctive fears. The study in mice could have implications for developing therapeutics for fear-related ...
