When a cocaine addict relapses, it isn't a matter of personal failure—it's the biological result of their brain's rewiring, new research finds. Michigan State University scientists have found that ...

Scientists identify the protein DeltaFosB as the "master switch" that rewires the brain's memory and reward circuits, driving chronic cocaine addiction and relapse.

A neuroscientist and assistant professor at the University of Alberta presented his research on the neural mechanisms of ...

New research reveals that psilocybin and MDMA promote long-term PTSD recovery by physically remodeling myelin insulation in the brain, synchronizing disrupted neural circuits.

Researchers have built AI systems capable of steering targeted brain circuits in real time, moving neuroscience closer to ...

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is not only characterized by strongly encoded traumatic memories, but also by disrupted ...

A comprehensive new review published in the journal Science China Life Sciences synthesizes decades of research to explain how anxiety and depression arise from a complex interplay of genetic ...

Examining brain plasticity and its implications for development, aging, and brain injury recovery.

Every day, your brain makes thousands of decisions under uncertainty. Most of the time, you guess right. When you don't, you learn. But when the brain's ability to judge context or assign meaning ...

A new bioengineered neuronal circuit board "BioConNet" allows scientists to artificially engineer human brain-like wiring at scale and can be used to engineer any possible circuit. The fully ...

A new study provides the first visual evidence showing that brain circuits in living animals can be activated by ultrasound waves projected into specific patterns (holograms). Led by scientists at NYU ...
