Neuroscientists spark shelter-seeking response by reactivating memory circuit

14 October 2024

Neuroscientists have successfully triggered a shelter-seeking response by reactivating a specific memory circuit in the brain. This groundbreaking research reveals how memories influence behavior, particularly in stressful situations. The study involved manipulating neural pathways that govern the instinct to seek safety. These findings could have significant implications for understanding anxiety disorders and developing new therapeutic strategies. The research highlights the intricate connections between memory and survival instincts in animals.
