Synchronized and desynchronized patterns of spontaneous activity during brain development prepare cortical circuits such as the visual cortex for processing external sensory information. Yet the neuro...

The populations of CRHR2-expressing neurons in the lateral septum of mice involved in threat-related behaviour in response to environmental challenges are defined.

Neural activity is a fundamental driver of early circuit assembly, yet how it shapes the distribution of inhibitory neurons across sensory networks remains poorly understood. Establishing an appropria...

Alcohol is one of the oldest psychoactive drugs, evidence of the production of alcoholic beverages dates back more than 10000 years. It is also the most widely used legal drug, associated with more…

Short-term alcohol exposure modulates activity in reward-related regions such as the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and executive cortical regions such as the prefrontal cortex (PFC), potentially contri...

The genetically encoded voltage indicators JEDI3sub and JEDI3hyp enhance monitoring of subthreshold neuronal activity in the awake mouse brain using a variety of two-photon microscopy techniques.

PinkyCaMP is a red genetically encoded calcium indicator with improved brightness and photostability. Derived from mScarlet, it does not exhibit photoswitching upon blue light illumination and is ther...

In this study, the authors develop CaMPARI-seq to link neural activity with molecular profiles in larval zebrafish. They identify inhibitory pretectal neurons required for optomotor response, revealin...

Abstract. Investigating the developmental characteristics of fetal brain functional activity and connectivity is crucial for understanding normal developme

The ERC plans to launch the grant competitions under its 2027 Work Programme between July 2026 and June 2027, with the calls for proposals introducing several changes to the eligibility rules for appl...

Short-term alcohol exposure modulates activity in reward-related regions such as the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and in executive cortical regions such as the prefrontal cortex (PFC), potentially con...

In this study, the authors find that synaptic strength predicts spine size and long-term stability via in vivo imaging together with optogenetic stimulation in awake mice. While individual synapses sh...

Blumberg et al. present video evidence of twitching during adult sleep in a diverse sample of animals. Adult twitching appears to selectively involve appendages used for active sensing, mirroring thei...

Here researchers reveal a microexon in the Ank3 gene encoding Ankyrin G allows cortical interneurons to fine-tune calcium signaling and firing, revealing the contribution of alternative splicing to th...

I will soon hit the academic job market, and hopefully not be crushed by it (the academic job market is tough!) Fortunately, there are now fantastic resources from researchers and institutions that…

Here researchers reveal a microexon in the Ank3 gene encoding Ankyrin G allows cortical interneurons to fine-tune calcium signaling and firing, revealing the contribution of alternative splicing to th...

Kornfeld-Sylla et al reveal how alpha brainwaves are altered in children and adults with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) and find parallel changes in alpha-like rhythms in juvenile and adult FXS model mice, ...

Precise control of individual neuron firing is key for neuroscience. Here, the authors show a novel opsin-free photostimulation method that activates single neurons in vivo by femtosecond laser scanni...
