This important study includes convincing evidence to show that behavioral measures and hippocampal representations of cognitive control are not dependent upon the medial prefrontal cortex. Whilst ...

A primary tool used in the research was single-nucleus RNA sequencing, a method that enables scientists to examine ... Brain tissue samples were taken from two specific areas within the amygdala: the ...

The study was published Nov. 22 in the journal Science Advances. High-resolution brain scans were key Within the amygdala, there’s a specific part called the medial nucleus that is very important for ...

the basolateral amygdala-to-nucleus accumbens pathway and the basolateral amygdala-to-central amygdala pathway. The first pathway is generally associated with positive experiences, while the second is ...

Anxiety starts when the central emotional processor known as the amygdala—or the so-called “extended amygdala,” which encompasses the bed nucleus stria terminalis (BNST)—interprets ...

Within the amygdala, there’s a specific part called the medial nucleus that is very important for social behaviours. This study was the first to show the amygdala’s medial nucleus is connected ...

At the same time, depressive behavior is linked to overactivation of the hypothalamus, which coordinates the stress response, and overactivity of the amygdala, which signals threat and generates ...

neurons projecting to the nucleus accumbens, a central brain region involved in reinforcement and motivation, were particularly affected in adolescent mice, but also in the adults who had consumed ...
