Researchers have shown that mice carrying extra copies of the Grik4 gene developed clear signs of anxiety and social ...

A key objective of several neuroscience studies is to understand and model how the dynamics of distinct populations of neurons give rise to specific human and animal behaviors. Many existing methods ...

While E. Josie Clowney would never suggest that neuroscience is simple, a new study by her team at the University of Michigan could drastically reduce complexity in future studies. Their work focused ...

Neuroscience is a vast field of study containing a range of narrower subfields. Each involves a spotlight on the brain and other parts of the nervous system, connecting them to one or more zones of ...

NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Governing Board of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy of ...

Behavioral neuroscience is represented by scientists with interests in the physiological and neural substrates of behavior. Our program’s mission is to produce outstanding scientists who will pursue ...

A new study found that prolonged mental fatigue can wear down cognitive resources, leading to higher rates of aggressive behavior. The findings improve understanding of why we may be more inclined to ...

What makes us think the way we do? How do our brains influence our behavior and vice versa? You can help answer these questions and more when you study the neurobiology of behavior. Discover the ...
