Repeated emotional stress in mice provokes irritable bowel syndrome-like symptoms

The evidence for the interconnection between emotional states and intestinal conditions has grown recently. These findings have led researchers to speculate about the association between the brain and the gut – the "gut-brain axis."

New evidence of a critical neuroplasticity period in the frontal brain during adolescence

In a paper published in Progress in Neurobiology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine neuroscientists described compelling new evidence of a critical neuroplasticity period in the frontal brain region during adolescence, a time when major mental illnesses such as depression and schizophrenia emerge and risk-taking behavior peaks.

Researchers discover neuronal mechanism involved in the learning of maternal behavior

Various conditions such as postpartum depression or postpartum psychosis can lead to an alteration in maternal behavior and disrupt the mother-child bonding process.

High-throughput sequencing reveals structured olfactory neuron projections

Our sense of smell has a powerful effect on our behavior and emotions. Aromas can evoke vivid memories of the past or warn us of a smoldering fire. Yet to neuroscientists, smell remains the most mysterious of our five senses.

Iowa researchers identify neural circuit linked with stress response

At one time or another, we've all felt paralyzed by a threat or danger. University of Iowa researchers have traced where that reaction to a threat arises.

In utero exposure to flame retardant results in altered brain development in newborn rats

A new study from North Carolina State University shows that exposure in utero to the flame retardant FireMaster 550 (FM 550), or to its individual brominated (BFR) or organophosphate ester (OPFR) components, resulted in altered brain development in newborn rats.

Study shows how brain's sensitivity to regret may be altered in mood disorders

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have learned that the way the brain processes the complex emotion of regret may be linked to an individual's ability to cope with stress, and altered in psychiatric disorders like depression.
