We often assume empathy is always good. But neuroscience tells a more nuanced—and potentially life-changing—story.

Imagine your brain as a car sitting idle in a chilly garage overnight. The ideal scenario to start such a car involves gently ...

Researchers have found a unique molecular signature and genes in the orbitofrontal cortex associated with heroin-seeking behavior. A preclinical rodent model implicated a gene called Shisa7 as the ...

HIGHER lesion burden in the uncinate fasciculus (UF), a key brain pathway linking emotional regulation regions, is associated with increased anxiety severity in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, ...

Orbitofrontal cortex and hippocampus reinstate representations of causal choices to associate with delayed outcomes, and the frontal pole supports this credit assignment process by maintaining pending ...

Guided by the need for an increased understanding of critical neurobiological features of addiction, researchers have now found a unique molecular signature and genes in the orbitofrontal cortex ...

Overexpression of Shisa7 in the orbitofrontal cortex in drug-free rats induced comparable up and down changes in gene expression as that induced by the self-administration of heroin. The ...
