/news/roots-fear-understanding-amygdala
<p>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 has been lacking. Now scientists at the University of California, Davis have identified new clusters of cells with differing patterns of gene expression in the amygdala of humans and non-human primates. The work could lead to more targeted treatments for disorders such as anxiety that affect tens of millions of people. </p>October 30, 2024 - 10:50amAndy Fell/news/roots-fear-understanding-amygdalaUnderstanding How Students Learn Through Virtual Reality

<p>Research on depression in adolescents in recent years has focused on how the physical brain and social experiences interact. A new University of California, Davis, study, however, shows that adolescents with large hippocampal volume were more, or less, susceptible to feelings of depression depending on how unsafe 鈥� or conversely 鈥� protected they felt in their home and community environments.</p>May 17, 2017 - 9:27amKaren Michele Nikos/news/brains-hippocampal-volume-social-environment-affect-adolescent-depression
