Neuroscientists at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre (SWC) at University College London have uncovered a neural mechanism in mice ...

In the brain, endocannabinoids play a key role in food intake and ... at the CHUM Research Centre (CRCHUM), and her team have been dissecting the neural mechanisms that control food motivation and ...

Researcher suggest findings could help understand what happens in the brain when fear response regulation is impaired.

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 ...

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

Two brain regions work together when mice learn to override the instinct to run and hide from a potential threat.

The researchers also uncovered the cellular and molecular mechanisms behind this process. Learning occurs through increased neural activity in specific vLGN neurons, triggered by the release of ...
