In a groundbreaking study, scientists at the University of California, Davis, have identified distinct groups of cells within ...

Now scientists at the University of California, Davis have identified new clusters of cells with differing patterns of gene expression in the amygdala of humans and non-human primates. The work ...

The nerve cell connections between the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex (PFC) are critical in anxiety. Anxiety results when alarm signals of possible danger originating in the amygdala disable ...

"In the amygdala, the gene Stat3 is involved in the regulation of blood pressure and possibly plays a role in blood pressure elevation in response to chronic stress. It might also be involved in ...

New research from Juntendo University, Japan, reveals that voluntary exercise prevents hypertension (high blood pressure) by restoring STAT3 levels in the amygdala. Using a rat model, the study ...

the amygdala. The newfound connections to the EC may serve as a crossroads. Other results of the study map connections between brain cells based on their ability to pump charged particles through ...

Researchers identify potential mechanism underlying stress-induced different changes of amygdala neurons in mice Dec 2, 2022 'Switching off' specific brain cells protects against stress ...
