Researchers have identified brain mechanisms that help animals suppress instinctive fear responses when threats prove harmless over time.

Scientists have uncovered a fascinating way the brain learns to override instinctive fears, shedding light on how we adapt to ...

A team of scientists has unveiled how the hippocampus orchestrates multiple memory processes, including encoding new information, forming memories, and retrieving them.

Researchers have discovered that positive emotions enhance perceptual memories during sleep, particularly in the non-REM stage.

What they are losing is estrogen, which affects the brain wiring responsible for memory and how fast you process information.

Heavy lifetime cannabis use is associated with reduced brain activation in key cognitive regions, particularly during working ...

Random noise, such as background hubbub on a phone call, is usually thought of as unwanted interference. Now researchers at Columbia Engineering find the brain may harness unavoidable random ...

Exercise releases neurotransmitters like endorphins; dopamine, part of the brain's reward system; norepinephrine, which can ...

Each time a person undergoes stress the brain releases cortisol hormones. Cortisol binds to glucocorticoid receptors and tells the body to prepare its “fight-or-flight” response. This hormone also ...
