distinct changes
in areas of the
brain that typically lead to greater levels of peace, well - being and better mental and emotional control.
«Each
area of the
brain is different with
distinct cell types and connectivity, so if we can confirm that one
area of circuitry is more involved
in a particular symptom than another, we may eventually be able to treat a depression patient more efficiently than treating everyone the same way.»
But while the
areas of the
brain involved
in estimating spatial orientation have been identified for some time, until now, no one has been able to either show that

Furthermore, movement - independent ZENK expression
in the forebrain of night - migratory birds performing magnetic orientation at night is confined to Cluster N [with the strongest activation
in distinct subregions (the shell surrounding the DNH nucleus)-RSB-, as shown by the detailed quantification of ZENK expression within Cluster N performed
in this study], and this expression massively decreased
in corresponding
brain areas of non-migratory songbirds and
in all bird species during daytime [13].
