A new study published in Nature Neuroscience has identified a brain circuit in mice that overrides basic needs like hunger or social contact in favor of seeking safety. Researchers found that a ...

In the brain, molecular information is transmitted between cells through neural circuits. Synapses establish connections between the pathways that run from one area to another, allowing the most ...

A research team led by Dr. Shin Hee-sup at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has uncovered a fundamental brain circuit that distinguishes these two types of fear.

Nanomedicine researchers develop new technology to control neural circuits using magnetic fields by Institute for Basic Science Editors' notes ...

A new discovery of how bees use their flight movements to facilitate remarkably accurate learning and recognition of complex ...

New research suggests that it could be possible to separate treatment from hallucinations when developing new drugs based on psychedelics. The anti-anxiety andhallucination-inducing qualities of ...

A study published in Nature Metabolism reveals neural circuits in the mouse brain that promote hunger-driven feeding and suppress pleasure-driven eating.

Researchers identified a neural circuit defect in ASD that impairs the ability to redirect attention, crucial for social learning. The study suggests that interventions targeting this circuit could ...

Researchers have identified how the architecture of brain circuits helps different species flexibly adapt to new mating signals across evolutionary timeframes.
