Researchers analysed mice's D1 and D2 neurons to understand how they code and respond to appetitive and aversive stimuli. The study revealed that, ...

A new study shows that D1 and D2 neurons in the nucleus accumbens work together to encode appetitive and aversive stimuli.

Educational theories downplaying external stimuli have inadvertently reduced clarity and equity in education. Effective ...

Are you stuck in a cycle of stress? You can work with your nervous system, not against it, and bring yourself back to balance ...

Behaviour is the set of responses that an organism makes to stimuli. Stimuli are environmental changes that an organism can detect. A behavioural adaptation is a behaviour that helps an organism ...

The excitement phase is the initial stage of sexual arousal. During this phase, physical changes occur in response to sexual ...

Researchers analyzed mice's D1 and D2 neurons to understand how they code and respond to appetitive and aversive stimuli.

The brain constantly evaluates whether stimuli are positive or negative, prompting approach or avoidance behaviors that are essential for survival.

Neuroimaging can capture brain activity in response to stimuli before a person decides how to respond. Initial affective responses—broadly good or bad feelings about a stimulus—have been ...

Imprinting is partly innate because the young birds will only learn to recognise and follow objects that have certain features. For example, goslings imprint on the first object they see that ...
