Contextual fear memories become less specific as they age, modeling fear overgeneralization seen in post-traumatic stress disorder. Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling in the dorsomedial prefrontal...

dos Santos Correa et al. show that exposure to a stressful context promotes the acquisition of rescue behavior in mice and that the dorsal hippocampus is required for this learning. Calcium imaging re...

Prosocial behaviors, such as rescuing individuals in need, are crucial for social cohesion across species. While key brain regions involved in rescue …

Chile is set to become the first country in the world to legislate on neurotechnologies and include “brain rights” in its constitution.

The phenomenon of representational drift (i.e., changing neuronal tuning during repeated exposure to the same stimuli), is a fundamental paradox in neuroscience that raises the question how stable beh...

Person-to-person variability in brain activity might represent meaningful differences in cognitive processes, rather than random noise.

Nature Neuroscience - Using two-photon imaging in awake bats, the authors show that the inferior colliculus encodes vocalization categories as categorical primitives—spatially clustered,...

A pyramidal cell type and the 5-HT2A receptor in the medial frontal cortex have essential roles in psilocybin’s long-term drug action.

Memory engrams are formed through experience-dependent plasticity of neural circuits, but their detailed architectures remain unresolved. Using three-dimensional electron microscopy, we performed nano...

Seeber et al. studied brain recordings from implanted electrodes in freely moving humans. Neural dynamics encoded actual and imagined routes similarly, demonstrating parallels between navigational, im...

Adaptive decision-making often requires an understanding of our agency in a situation; however, chronic stress can disrupt agency and promote inflexible, habitual behaviour by turning off a brain path...

Abstract figure legend Neurons drive animal behaviour by receiving and transmitting information and require energy, primarily supplied by mitochondria, to function. Additionally, neurons need to sens...

Theves et al. test whether category boundaries exert similar effects on human memory as environmental boundaries. They observe memory distortions that mimic the effects of environmental boundary chang...

The past decade has generated an increasingly mature field investigating the neural mechanisms behind core components of social behavior in animals by investigating and comparing a range of species in...
