Control of fear in the brain decoded: Emotional balance is regulated by molecular factors behind stress response, study finds

sciencedaily.com — “When healthy people are faced with threatening situations, they react with a suitable behavioral response and do not descend into a state of either panic or indifference, as is the case, for example, with patients who suffer from anxiety. With the help of genetic studies on mice, scientists in Germany have discovered two opposing neuronal regulatory circuits for the generation and elimination of fear.View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Very Skinny People Likely Have Extra Copies Of Certain Genes - QualityPoint Technologies

qualitypointtech.net — “Individuals who carry extra copies of specific genes have a tendency to be extremely skinny, researchers from Imperial College London and the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, reported in the journal Nature. The authors added that this is the first study to find evidence of a genetic cause for extreme underweight. The scientists found that a duplication of part of chromosome 16 is linked to being very thin. According to previous research, those with a missing copy of these genes had a consideView full resource at qualitypointtech.net
