Mount Sinai researchers have identified for the first time the neural mechanisms in the brain that regulate both positive and ...

Researchers at Mount Sinai have identified the neural mechanisms in the hippocampus that regulate both positive and negative ...

The parts of your brain that are responsible for regulating sleep also have serotonin receptors. In the case of serotonin vs. dopamine, for instance, serotonin can either help you fall asleep or ...

The modified LSD, which they named JRT, did just that—and more. It stimulated neurons to sprout new dendritic branches and ...

A new study sheds new light on these big questions, illuminating a general principle of neural processing in a mysterious region of the midbrain that is the very origin of our central serotonin (5-HT) ...

Serotonin neurons in the brainstem are not independent, as once thought, but interact to influence decision-making.

each controlling serotonin release in a particular region of the brain. This has implications for the “winner-takes-all” principle of neuroscience – an idea applied in computational models of neural ...

Serotonin is often painted as the brain's "pleasure chemical" but its precise role in the nervous system is ambiguous and perplexing: It's implicated in everything from mood and movement ...

which binds to serotonin receptors called 2A, and experts think that's what triggers what they call neuronal avalanching. It's essentially a domino effect of different changes in the brain.

Mount Sinai researchers have identified for the first time the neural mechanisms in the brain that regulate both positive and ...

Mount Sinai researchers have identified for the first time the neural mechanisms in the brain that regulate both positive and negative impressions of a social encounter, as well as how an imbalance ...
