Some people with long COVID may experience certain symptoms — sudden blood pressure spikes or nausea, for instance — due to stress or trauma.

An interim U.S. attorney is demanding information about the selection of research articles and the role of N.I.H. Experts worry this will have a chilling effect on publications.

Katharine Hayhoe says the world is heading for dangers people have not seen in 10,000 years of civilisation

Scott, Tan et al. characterize the neural circuits that link mechanic stimuli in the heart and gut with whole-body energy homeostasis and vigilance.

Psychedelics have reemerged as potential treatments for mental health disorders, yet their impact on stress-related brain regions remains poorly understood. Here, we provide the first real-time, in vi...

Gun violence exposure (GVE) is a pervasive public health issue in the United States, with significant implications for mental health. This study exami…

The prefrontal - hippocampal - entorhinal system is perhaps the most widely-studied circuit in cognitive and systems neuroscience, due to its role in supporting cognitive functions such as working mem...

This study models early life stress (ELS) to observe sex-specific effects on fear memory formation using innovative unsupervised classification together with cellular metabolism alterations in key str...

The government linked alcohol with seven types of cancers, prompting the US surgeon general to call for warning labels on beer, wine and liquor.

Norepinephrine oscillations during NREM sleep drive synchronized changes in cerebral blood volume and cerebrospinal fluid, promoting glymphatic clearance. Optogenetic and pharmacological manipulations confirm that vasomotion, regulated by norepinephrine, acts as a pump for brain fluid transport.

Early-life stress can have lifelong consequences, enhancing stress susceptibility and resulting in behavioural and cognitive deficits. While the effects of early-life stress on neuronal function have ...

Early-life stress increases sensitivity to subsequent stress, which has been observed among humans, other animals, at the level of cellular activity, and at the level of gene expression. However, the ...
