From gut motility to interoceptive behavior

The gut–brain axis is a bidirectional network linking gastrointestinal function with neural circuits regulating stress, affect, and behavior. Contribute to this Research Topic and join the discussion to advance understanding in this rapidly evolving area.

AI Meets Behavior: decoding the brain

How can AI deepen our understanding of brain–behavior relationships and inspire models of cognition? Led by our Field Chief Editor and colleagues, this Research Topic calls for studies driving innovation in AI and behavioral neuroscience.

Sex differences in anxiety and depression

Drawing on adult rodent models of chronic stress, Drs. Bowman, Frankfurt, and Luine synthesize evidence on sex differences in anxiety- and depression-like behaviors and neural plasticity, with implications for mood disorder vulnerability — Read more.
