Washington [US], August 21 (ANI): Salk Institute researchers have found that a biochemical pathway that combines potentially dangerous sights, sounds, and odours into a single message: Be afraid. CGRP is a protein that permits neurons in two distinct sections of the brain to combine dangerous sensory signals into a coherent signal, label it as negative, and transmit it to the amygdala, where it is converted into fear.

Washington [US], June 28 (ANI): Researchers have discovered electrical brain-wave patterns given off during social interactions in mice. They also observed that mice showing signs of stress, depression, or autism lacked these brain waves. The results reveal more about the mechanisms underlying brain activity when socializing.
Washington [US], February 11 (ANI): A long-term study involving hundreds of brain scans finds changes in the amygdala linked to the development of anxiety in autistic children. The study by UC Davis MIND Institute researchers also provides evidence of distinct types of anxiety specific to autism.
