A brain plasticity mechanism allows the reorganization of the sense of touch during development

A study led by the Institute for Neurosciences CSIC-UMH demonstrates that the brain reorganizes its sensory maps in the absence of tactile stimuli. These findings, published in Nature Communications, provide new insights into how the brain adjusts its structure and function when a part of the body is missing from birth.

A study involving UMH highlights the need to rethink alcohol addiction treatments

Two years after completing a treatment program, individuals with moderate to severe alcohol dependence continue to show high reactivity to alcohol-related stimuli and remain at risk of relapse. This is the main finding of a new study published in Frontiers in Psychiatry, led by Professor Gabriel Rubio from the Complutense University of Madrid, in collaboration […]

Scientists discover a key mechanism regulating how oxytocin is released in the mouse brain

A study led by the Institute for Neurosciences CSIC-UMH has identified an essential protein responsible for the slow and sustained release of oxytocin in the brain, a process that is fundamental for the regulation of social behavior. This work, published in Communications Biology, provides new insights into how the brain maintains basal levels of this […]
