Information about several papers discussed at the 36th Annual Meeting of the Society For Neuroscience held in Atlanta, Georgia is presented. Regular exercise will help in the protection of brain disease and aging, while research shows that stem cells are potential aid to Parkinson's disease. Vaccine techniques may soon prevent several neurologic disorders, while early-life stress can contribute to the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

Information about a paper on various mental disorders discussed at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego, California is presented. It examines how mirror neurons react when autistic children interact with other people. It assumes that when children interact, new brain patterns relaying stimuli and movement develop in their brains. This situation happens due to the lack of suppression of mirror neuron activity.

Information about a paper on various mental disorders discussed at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego, California is presented. It examines how old people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) abide with memory processing. Results of the study show that people with PTSD have lesser capacity to function well mentally because of the malfunctioning of their brain's right frontal cortex.

Information about a paper on various mental disorders discussed at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego, California is presented. It compares the performance of adolescents using cannabis and those who are not. It is found that adolescents using cannabis need more neurophysiologic effort into memory-related tasks to achieve the same level of performance of their drug-free peers.

Information about a paper on various mental disorders discussed at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego, California is presented. It examines the role of aggressive social interactions in the development of mental depression, anxiety and susceptibility to immune-related illnesses. The conference features speaker Doctor Marie-Claude Audet, who discusses how the environment affects mental activity and health of animals.

Information about a paper on various mental disorders discussed at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego, California is presented. It examines the significance of neurotransmitter arginine-vasopressin (AVP) in the amygdala in regulating maternal aggression. Doctor Oliver J. Bosch emphasizes that stressful social experiences may influence vulnerability to depression and susceptibility to immune-related illness.

Information about a paper on the role of natural brain chemical endocannabinoids discussed at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego, California is presented. Topics include endocannabinoids' function and effect on a person and its association to anxiety disorders and epilepsy. These chemicals regulate many biologic process. If malfunctioned, they will cause neuronal activity to work improperly that may lead to brain disorders.

Information about a paper on various mental disorders discussed at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego, California is presented. It examines the incapability of patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to unlearn fear. According to Doctor Mohammed Milad, patients with PTSD are unable to inhibit or extinguish fear responses which shows that the fear exposure itself is the main cause of this disorder.

Information about a paper on various mental disorders discussed at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego, California is presented. It reveals that changes in the levels of specific immune molecules, which are members of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I family, are sufficient to cause cellular and behavioral symptoms of autism and schizophrenia. MHC class I can be helpful to the health but can also endanger neurons during viral infection.
