Cells that control hunger have a strong influence on the brain’s higher cortical regions. The findings could lead to new treatments for psychiatric illness.

Mapping how the brain’s anatomical connections and activity patterns relate to behavior is crucial not only for understanding how the brain works generally but also for identifying biomarkers of ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Scientists have revealed the molecular structure of a type of receptor that's crucial to brain development and function. 'This study shows the dominant assemblies and states of the GABA receptor ...

Scientists from the Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks (MICRONS) consortium have published the microconnectome of a cubic millimeter of the mouse brain. This is the most complete map of this ...

In people with opioid use disorder, Yale researchers found several opioid receptor-rich brain regions where both volume and function were altered.

Important brain structures that are key for signaling in the brain are narrower and less dense in females, and more likely to be damaged by brain injuries, such as concussion. Long-term cognitive ...

Brain imaging data were collected using advanced MRI techniques, measuring over 3,900 brain characteristics related to structure and function.

Research suggests that people with OCD often show differences in brain structure and function, particularly in areas involved in decision making, emotional regulation, and habit formation.
