Scientists have pinpointed a brain circuit that, when activated, reduces anxiety without impairing memory. Using ...

Adolescence, the period from the onset of puberty to early adulthood, is known to be marked by significant changes in the prefrontal cortex and other brain circuits. These changes have been linked ...

The team found that in one of the BLA circuits, which runs from a brain region called the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, ...

Cornell researchers have identified a specific brain circuit that could lead to anxiety treatments without cognitive side ...

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have identified a brain circuit linked to anxiety that may provide a new drug target, ...

Anxiety short-circuits the decision-making process by literally suppressing the normal activity of specific populations of neurons in the prefrontal cortex. Why do I feel anxiety in my body?

The team found that in one of the BLA circuits, which runs from a brain region called the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, activating mGluR2 signaling reduced spatial avoidance, a classic anxiety ...
