A new study on mice from the RIKEN-MIT Center for Neural Circuit Genetics has pinpointed 'positive' neurons housed in the back of the amygdala and 'negative' neurons located in the front of the ...
I’ve been studying the amygdala for more than 30 years. When I started this work, research on this brain region was a lonely field of inquiry. The hippocampus was all the rage, and I sometimes felt ...
We've all been there. Moments after leaving a party, your brain is suddenly filled with intrusive thoughts about what others were thinking. "Did they think I talked too much?" "Did my joke offend them ...

Scientists erased anxiety in mice by tuning a single gene in one cluster of amygdala neurons, then watched normal social behavior return
Researchers reversed anxiety, depression-like behavior, and social withdrawal in mice by correcting the dosage of a single ...
Treating anxiety, depression and other disorders may depend on the amygdala, a part of the brain that controls strong emotional reactions, especially fear. But a deep understanding of this structure ...

Mice engineered to overproduce Grik4 became visibly anxious and socially withdrawn; restoring the gene’s expression flipped both deficits back
Researchers have shown that mice carrying extra copies of the Grik4 gene developed clear signs of anxiety and social ...
