Researchers at University Medical Center of Hamburg-Eppendorf recently carried out a study on mice aimed at further exploring changes that occur in the prefrontal cortex during adolescence.

In a separate study, the team then compared the set of genes that are active in the prefrontal cortex of resilient and non-resilient mice before and after stress to understand the molecular ...

Using optogenetics, the researchers turned off cells in the posterior insular cortex and the prefrontal cortex in some mice while stimulating the heart. When they silenced the posterior insular cortex ...

Neurons in the prefrontal cortex, a brain region pivotal to cognition that is sensitive to stress, grew more mushroom-shaped extensions in the mice that received the synthetic, activatory TF compared ...

Scientists have pinpointed a brain circuit that, when activated, reduces anxiety without impairing memory. Using ...

and parallels between the stress-related cell-types in the mouse and human, we will test the central hypotheses that the stress and stress recovery states are distinguished by distinct interactions ...

Neuroscientists have new insights into why previous experiences influence future behaviors. Experiments in mice reveal that personal history ...

Further studies in a mouse model of depression revealed that when KNT-127 was locally injected into the medial prefrontal infralimbic cortex region (IL-PFC), an anti-depressive effect was produced ...
