In vertebrates, animals that have a backbone or spinal column, many survival behaviors and physiological states are regulated by the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is a region in the vertebrate forebrain located below the ...
Many rheumatic conditions develop slowly and initially have inflammatory arthritis as the first sign that something is amiss. The trouble with such close similarity is the difficulty that clinicians have differentiating one ...
Human and animal brains can represent events in time and space in fascinating ways, for instance, by accessing a chronology of events that happened in the past via stimuli perceived by the senses. In the human brain, spatial ...
In order to survive and thrive, humans and other living organisms must continuously acquire new strategies to adapt their behavior to changing environments. Past studies suggest that the synchronization between different ...
Psychedelics are among the most intriguing and mysterious psychoactive substances, as they can radically alter people's perceptions, cognitive processes and emotions. Their unique qualities and their effects on the human ...
Researchers at Beijing Normal university and Leiden University have recently carried out a study investigating patterns in neural activity that could be observed in humans during intergroup conflicts (i.e., conflicts between ...
Researchers at University of Copenhagen and Karolinska Institute have recently carried out a study investigating the neural underpinnings of a specific locomotor ability in animals, which involves sideways movements (i.e., ...
Researchers at the National Brain Research Centre in Haryana, India, have recently carried out a study exploring the neural mechanisms that may underlie differences in how different people perceive multisensory stimuli. ...
Researchers at the Research Center for Natural Sciences and other institutes in Hungary have recently carried out a study investigating the involvement of brain regions other than the amygdala—more specifically, the lateral ...
The basal ganglia (BG) are a group of subcortical brain nuclei that control automatic behavior in humans and other animal species. The BG has been found to show peculiar activity in people affected by a number of mental and ...
