Using lab-grown brain tissue, researchers uncovered complex patterns of neural signaling that differ subtly between healthy ...

Teleost fish employ a sophisticated suite of acoustic signals that underlie key reproductive behaviours. Research over recent decades has revealed that these vocalisations are mediated by specialised ...

Pregnancy is a time of profound transformation for a woman’s body, and recent advances in neuroscience have revealed just how remarkable these changes are, particularly in the brain. The concept of ...

Researchers uncovered how estrogen subtly reshapes learning by strengthening dopamine reward signals in the brain. Rats learned faster when estrogen levels were high and struggled when the hormone’s ...

Researchers have long established that hormones significantly affect the brain, creating changes in emotion, energy levels, and decision-making. However, the intricacies of these processes are not ...

Recent research has shed light on the complex neural processes that transition our brains from sleep to wakefulness, illuminating how specific brain regions activate to restore consciousness and ...

For decades, mental health research focused almost exclusively on the brain. Depression was framed as a chemical imbalance, anxiety as faulty ...

Anxiety is not just a state of mind—it's a neuroendocrine one, deeply rooted in how the circuitry of our brain and hormones interact. In 2017, a study published in The Lancet estimated about 44.9 ...
