A brain structure called the amygdala, and its connections with another region, the prefrontal cortex, shape people’s experiences and social interactions. The discovery of a key molecular mechanism ...
A recent study has identified how specific puberty hormones relate to the physical structure and functional wiring of the ...
Inhibiting locus coeruleus input to the medial prefrontal cortex in mice impaired task performance, affected the tuning of single cortical neurons and disrupted population dynamics and encoding ...
A UCLA-led study has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin - DNA and proteins - plays a critical role.
This schematic outlines their analytical framework. The approach involves creating a validated developmental atlas of the dorsal prefrontal cortex from structural connectivity, then using these ...
As I gradually cross the threshold from adolescence to adulthood, I often hear my peers joke that their prefrontal cortex is developing when they find themselves happily going to bed early on a Friday ...
During adolescence, the teen brain goes through dramatic changes which scientists are just beginning to better understand. For parents, teachers, and anyone who cares for a teenager—it is often ...
The timing of trauma determines adult behavioral outcomes like aggression or social anxiety by impacting specific ...
