Researchers at Universidad Miguel Hernandez have identified a specific population of neurons in the central lateral amygdala whose excessive firing produces anxiety-like behavior, depression-like ...

Treating anxiety, depression and other disorders may depend on the amygdala, a part of the brain that controls strong emotional reactions, especially fear. But a deep understanding of this structure ...

A research team has discovered that a specific group of neurons in the amygdala, a brain region involved in emotion regulation, plays a key role in the emergence of conditions such as anxiety, ...

A 7 Tesla MRI study of early Parkinson's disease patients links anxiety to reduced caudate volume and distinct shape deformations in the striatum, thalamus, and amygdala.

The Synaptic Physiology laboratory, led by Juan Lerma at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of ...

An international group of researchers led by Vanderbilt University has discovered for the first time that there are cannabinoid receptors in the amygdala. The amygdala is one of the primary brain ...

When you're under stress, your brain may release its own cannabinoid molecules to calm you, activating the same brain receptors as THC derived from cannabis plants. But the brain activity regulated by ...
