Study links neural circuit with impaired social function

Stimulating neural activity between the amygdala and the nucleus accumbens — a brain region associated with pleasure — impairs social function even though mice find the stimulation rewarding, a new study published by Vanderbilt researchers reports.

Brain network activity can improve in epilepsy patients after surgery

Successful epilepsy surgery can improve brain connectivity like patterns seen in people without epilepsy, according to a new study.
