Serotonin is a neuromodulator involved in regulation of mood and behavior. Development in the limbic system plays an important ...
Internet addiction is associated with disrupted signaling in brain regions important for functions such as managing attention, a new study of teens has found. How internet addiction may affect ...
Neuroscience research has found that poor sleep quality is associated with greater risk-taking on a behavioral task. [28] This risky behavior was further associated with decreased activity in cognitive control regions of the brain and increased activity in reward regions of the brain.
