Mosquitoes use carbon dioxide as a critical cue to sense if humans are nearby. This Primer explores a new study in PLOS Biology that reveals that carbon dioxide-sensing neurons in mosquitoes can ampli...

Compositionality exists on a continuum of increasing complexity rather than as a binary trait. Studying its implementation in simpler biological and artificial systems is the most tractable path towar...

The authors present a dense connectomic reconstruction of a 0.1 mm3 hippocampal CA3 volume and reveal spatial gradients, high convergence and cell-type-selective feedforward inhibition of inputs to py...

PhD student Minsu Kim gained confidence, experience in the lab of neurobiologist Wei-Chung Allen Lee

Open-source resource poised to propel research on how nervous systems work

Code version used to compute influence scores for the Brain and Nerve Cord (BANC) connectome reported in the updated Bates et al. pre-print. Compared to v0.3, this version contains some updates to the...

A team of researchers has unveiled the complete connectome of a male fruit fly central nervous system —a seamless map of all the neurons in the brain and nerve cord of a single male fruit fly and the ...

A major challenge in neuroscience is reconciling idealized theoretical models with complex, heterogeneous experimental data. We address this challenge through the lens of continuous-attractor networks...

MIT tuition was $57,986 for the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the average for four-year private institutions in the U.S.

Artificial intelligence and human expertise meet to generate a map of all the connections in the fly brain. The resource is already being used by experimentalists and theoreticians to further our unde...

Wiring diagrams of neural circuits are of central importance in delineating mechanisms of computatio

Handler, Zhang, et al. show restricted subcellular localization and function of Piezo2 to the sensory axons of mechanosensory end organs, and through high-resolution enhanced FIB-SEM, they reveal a c...
