Scientists develop brain stimulation techniques using light therapy that offer mental health benefits
Current studies on brain science affirm that light can stimulate brain cells (neurons). This general field and technique is called optogenetics and scientists use it to better understand the neural connections, electrical impulses and chemical signals that occur in the brain. In 2019, Shuo Chen, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California in Berkeley received […]

Are you resilient? Researchers identify brain receptor crucial to regulating stress response
Repeated exposure to stressful conditions can increase the incidence of mental disorders, such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But scientists have recently discovered a lipid molecule that promotes stress resilience when expressed at high levels in the brain. In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, American researchers reported that sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 3 (S1PR3), which functions as […]
