Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of depression and mania. It poses a substantial burden on global health, with an increasing incidence.

The posterior bed nuclei of the stria terminalis (BST) are important neural substrate for relaying limbic influences to the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus to inhibit ...

Researchers have examined neurodegenerative pathology in the paraventricular thalamus and medial temporal region, including the hippocampus, in patients with bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder (BD) is ...

The paraventricular thalamus plays a key role in determining which pieces of information and stimuli are important to learn from in specific situations. Research conducted recently at Stanford ...

The hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis is recruited by the organism in response to real or perceived threats to homeostasis ("stress"). Regulation of this neuroendocrine system is ...

Activating a specific group of neurons tied to stress responses leads to reduced sleep and memory difficulties in male mice, pointing to a distinct brain circuit involved in how stress impairs ...
