Defining brain cell types is no longer a matter of classification alone, but of embedding their genetic identities within the dynamical organization of population activity.

One of four language-responsive cerebellar regions may encode meaningful information, much like the cortical language network in the left hemisphere, according to a new study.

"MacArthur genius" Kenneth Catania outlined the physiology behind the moles' stellar foraging skills two decades ago. Next, he wants to better characterize their food-seeking behavior.

A reanalysis of the data revealed errors and failed to replicate the results.

The policy aimed to increase the transparency of research in humans but created "a bureaucratic nightmare" for basic neuroscientists.

The atlas details the genetics, birth dates and gene-expression signatures of roughly 150 neuron subtypes in the dorsal horn of the mouse spinal cord.

If the struggle to articulate an idea is part of how you come to understand it, then tools that bypass that struggle might degrade your capacity for the kind of thinking that matters most for actual discovery.

The retroviral insert appears to inadvertently switch off a gene involved in brain development.

Studying how organisms infer indirect threats and understand changing contexts can establish a common framework that bridges species and levels of analysis.

Neuroscience is chasing the complexity of social behavior, yet we have not answered the simplest question in the chain: How does a brain know "who is who"? Emerging multi-agent artificial intelligence may help accelerate our understanding of this fundamental computation.
