An analysis finds that the Trump administration has cut or frozen up to $177 billion in federal grants since the president took office for his second term.

Nature Neuroscience - Senne, Suthard and colleagues show that dorsal hippocampal astrocytes display time-compressed calcium-event sequences after foot shock and upon context re-exposure, and that...

Simultaneous EEG and ECG in 3-month-olds reveal that parasympathetic (RSA) activity dynamically couples with cortical theta and alpha oscillations during sustained attention task

The genomic regions regulating gene expression are often themselves transcribed into a variety of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). However, the regulatory roles of this noncoding transcription remain largely ...

The Department of Psychology at Tufts University invites applications for a full-time faculty position in behavioral neuroscience at the Assistant Professor (tenure-track) level to begin September 1, ...

Early-life exposure to stressors can lead to increased stress susceptibility in later life, shown here to be mediated in mice by SETD7-mediated monomethylation of H3K4 in dopaminergic neurons of the v...

This paper synthesizes insights from a 2026 American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) study group examining how to responsibly translate AI into clinical mental health care. Building on this ...

This column by Ashley Juavinett guides educators and self-learners through recent seminal neuroscience papers.

Neurons have long taken top billing in memory, but researchers are making the case for astrocytes.

Kim, Geiger et al. report that early-life stress increases the chromatin modification H3K4me1 and its enzymatic writer, SETD7, in the ventral tegmental area. They show that this form of epigenetic priming is necessary and sufficient for early-life stress to sensitize transcriptional, physiological, and behavioral responses to subsequent stressors.

The basolateral amygdala dopamine system has received little attention. Here, authors show that BLA dopamine plays a unique role in learning, by encoding the emotional salience of sensory cues to supp...
