The brain: is the organ located in the head and serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate. The brain is the most complex organ in a vertebrate's body and is close to the sensory organs for senses such as vision.
We routinely face decisions requiring evaluation and choice of different actions may or may not yield different types of rewards. These situations trigger competitive decision biases that ref...
Precision medicine requires understanding the mechanistic basis of complex disorders, and to precisely manipulate these mechanisms to better human health. This is partly enabled by the recent...
