Shape of Brain Cells Influences Sensitivity to Cocaine, Yale Researchers ReportBill Hathaway
In the future, our goal is to bridge the gaps between genetics, neuroscience, and medicine. This integration will help scientists answer critical questions about how genetic influences on brain structure affect behavior and disease outcomes. Understanding the genetics of brain structure and mental healt...
Behaviorally, a recent study shows that this power increase in the sensory region V1 influences WM performance10. These findings suggest that the task periodic power peak modulate behavior. The neural mechanisms of this modulation remain unclear, though. Addressing this gap in our knowledge is the...
For instance, environments that requested pre-existing social priors resulted most frequently in favor of strong sensorial influences or no evidence of imbalance, rather than prior influences32. In the present study, affective speech prosody acts as task-irrelevant distractor while children with low (...
brain magnetic resonance imaging and genotyping was performed. The maximal heritability of shape varies from 32.7 to 53.3% across the subcortical structures. Genetic contributions to shape extend beyond influences on intracranial volume and the gross volume of the respective structure. The regional varianc...
For example, the brain's serotonergic system, which plays a key role in emotional activity, does not develop appropriately in the absence of microbes (Clarke et al., 2013). Gut microbes are part of the unconscious system regulating behavior. Of major importance for societal functioning is the ...
Nanomaterials Shape and Form Influences their Ability to Cross the Blood Brain Barrier Nanomaterials found in consumer and health-care products can pass from the bloodstream to the brain side of a blood-brain barrier model with varying ease depending on their shape – creating potential neuro...
People form impressions of one another in a split second from faces. However, people also infer others’ momentary mental states on the basis of context—for example, one might infer that somebody feels encouraged from the fact that they are receiving co
Signaling within a species influences decision-making, maximizes cooperative (e.g., sharing, communication) and collaborative (e.g., coordination) behaviors involved in sexual or other forms of social selection1,2. Therefore, complex evolutionary processes likely fine-tuned sex-differentiated neurophysiol...
other29,32. This correspondence is particularly high within unimodal brain regions; transmodal regions such as the posteromedial cortex, the anterior insular cortex, and the superior portions of the inferior parietal lobule, instead, display a lower correspondence between intracortical myelination and ...
