PTSD patients may repeatedly experience emotionally charged dreams during REM sleep

During periods of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, brain activity often resembles that of awake behavior. At times, the brain can actually be more active during REM sleep than when you're awake.

Researchers discover how a protein deficiency can prepare the brain to minimize damage after stress

Astrocytes, small star-shaped cells, play an important role in signal transmission in the brain. Since the protein Ezrin is found abundantly in astrocyte tendrils, it is presumed to play a role in brain function.

Study elucidates the evolutionary conservation and diversification of auditory neural circuits in fruit flies

When it comes to courtship, it is important to ensure that one is interacting with a member of the same species. Animals use multiple sensory systems to confirm that potential mates are indeed suitable, with acoustic communication playing an important role in their decision making.

Researchers investigate whether the perception of time changes with age

Researchers at Eötvös Loránd University have investigated whether the perception of time changes with age, and if so, how, and why we perceive the passage of time differently.
