Voluntary alcohol consumption altered corticostriatal plasticity in rats, which may contribute to alcohol use disorder. Read ...

Years ago, LSD was seen as the evil stepchild of drugs. Today, research indicates LSD may treat anxiety and depression, and ...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most abundantly expressed proteins in the human body, which regulate diverse physiological processes ranging from pain perception to hormone signaling.

Neuroprogressive disorders, particularly Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia, are increasingly recognized as multifactorial conditions involving chronic ...

Aging is accompanied by progressive changes in brain structure and function that may affect cognition, emotional regulation, and adaptive behavior. While ...

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively builds dense new clusters of synapses in specific parts of neurons. These ...

In the laboratory neuroplasticity names a specific set of measurable, localized synaptic mechanisms; in the self-help section ...

D-Cycloserine (DCS) has been reported to augment the effect of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in remission from depression and ...

ABSTRACT: Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is associated with sustained impairments in motor function mediated by neurotoxic injury and dysregulated intracellular signaling through insulin and ...

Synaptic plasticity—the ability of neural connections to adapt in strength and efficacy—is fundamental to learning, memory and emotional regulation. At the molecular level, long-term potentiation (LTP ...

Every experience we have changes our brain, the way a ceramicist reshapes a slab of clay. Every corner we turn, every conversation we have, every shudder we feel causes cascading effects: Chemicals ...
