چکیده
doi: 10.4088/JCP.12m08083). Thus, the meditation proved efficient in the activation of the ventrolateral pre-frontal cortex and in increasing the connectivity between amygdala and pre-frontal cortex. Both these neurological changes are believed to be beneficial for the reduction of GAD symptoms. Such findings demonstrating that soft healing approaches like meditation can be backed up by hard evidence might help to reconcile the warring factions of mainstream and alternative medicine.

Neural architectures for adaptive behavior.
How do animals use the same peripheral structures to generate different behavioral responses? Three different neuronal architectures have been proposed to mediate this task: dedicated circuitry; distributed circuitry; and reorganizing circuitry. This review will critically examine the evidence for these different architectures in invertebrate circuits, and then examine the evidence for them in ...
متن کاملWNTs in synapse formation and neuronal circuitry.
Wnt proteins play important roles in wiring neural circuits. Wnts regulate many aspects of neural circuit generation through their receptors and distinct signalling pathways. In this review, we discuss recent findings on the functions of Wnts in various aspects of neural circuit formation, including neuronal polarity, axon guidance, synapse formation, and synaptic plasticity in vertebrate and i...
متن کاملThe Cellular Organization of Zebrafish Visuomotor Circuits
Week-old zebrafish execute many complex, visually guided actions using a brain that displays the canonical vertebrate organization, but is less than a cubic millimeter in size. Recent studies have made considerable progress towards understanding the underlying neural circuit basis of these innate responses, at two fundamental levels. Large-scale population recordings have revealed how functiona...
متن کاملBehavioral genetics in larval zebrafish: learning from the young.
Deciphering the genetic code that determines how the vertebrate nervous system assembles into neural circuits that ultimately control behavior is a fascinating and challenging question in modern neurobiology. Because of the complexity of this problem, successful strategies require a simple yet focused experimental approach without limiting the scope of the discovery. Unbiased, large-scale forwa...
متن کاملEmerging principles governing the operation of neural networks.
A basic tenet of neuroscience is that the ability of the brain to produce complex behaviors such as sensory perception or motor control arises from the interconnection of neurons into networks or circuits. Finding out how neural networks are organized and understanding what com putational principles underlie their operation remain challenges to modern neuroscience. Advances in anatomical, bioc...
