In reaction to a threat, our brains set off a chain of biochemical reactions that result in the release of cortisol — the body’s stress hormone — from the adrenal glands. Researchers have now discovered a switch in the brain for regulating this process, which could hold great promise for people suffering from stress-related neurological disorders.

One of the toughest things to teach Air Force pilots who guide unmanned attack drones is how to accurately spot targets in complex radar images. Researchers, however, have found a way to cut that lengthy training time in half. Delivering a mild electrical current to pilots’ brains through EEG electrodes placed on the scalp — a process called transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) — can acc
