A new study found that deep sleep weakens breathing brain timing in movement circuits and changes internal brain ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a previously underappreciated role in the maturation of coordinated movement.

Researchers identify PV neurons in the prefrontal cortex as the gatekeepers of drug addiction relapse, offering a new target for precision treatment.

When a cocaine addict relapses, it isn't a matter of personal failure—it's the biological result of their brain's rewiring, ...

Cocaine addiction isn’t simply a failure of willpower — it’s the result of lasting biological changes in the brain.

A new study reveals how cocaine use alters brain circuits tied to memory and reward, leaving the brain more vulnerable to relapse.

When considering the drugs most likely to cause former addicts to repeatedly relapse, opioids, cocaine, and methamphetamine ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have identified a brain circuit that can drive repetitive and compulsive behaviors in mice, even when natural rewards such as food or social contact are ...

Scientists identify the protein DeltaFosB as the "master switch" that rewires the brain's memory and reward circuits, driving chronic cocaine addiction and relapse.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered that the constant gnawing of rodents isn't just a reflex or a consequence of a tough diet. It also triggers a release of dopamine in the brain ...
