To enhance AI safety, take a lesson from biological brains; a small set of wants maintains durable control over a much larger cognitive system.

Neural circuits may sometimes calculate confidence in a decision simultaneously with the choice itself.

The assumption that waking life consists of a stream of conscious representations has inadvertently led consciousness science to its current impasse.

Infantile amnesia is not simply a story about forgetting the past. It is an opportunity to understand how memory itself is built.

Placing too much emphasis on a specific interpretation of dimensionality may lead neuroscience down the wrong path.

With agentic AI’s rapid infiltration into science, researchers need to develop AI use policies and practices.

The ability to record from large populations of neurons has triggered the development of myriad methods for comparing them. But we’re still grappling with how to convert measures of likeness into a…

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

Kevin Mitchell talks with Timothy Behrens about ring attractors, the role of innate structure, and an expanded view of cognitive maps.

Neuroscientists should take a cue from astrophysicists and use planetariums to inspire awe, argues Tyler Sloan. His new film takes a first step.

Long-term implants provide an opportunity to study how speech arises in everyday life.

Shifting the focus of equity initiatives from identity categories to structural barriers can reveal overlooked challenges and increase global support.

Trauma researchers need professional norms that allow brief, humane acknowledgment when acute trauma directly affects a scientific community.

Discover grants, fellowships and funding opportunities for neuroscience research at all career stages.

Lucid dreaming offers a rare opportunity to observe and probe perception from within.

Artificial intelligence may soon enable researchers to generate high-quality science at a previously unimaginable speed.

Artificial intelligence may soon enable researchers to generate high-quality science at a previously unimaginable speed.

Neuroscientists reckon with the gap between artificial intelligence's potential and the field's reality.

The brain’s first foundation models exist because some areas of neuroscience developed standards to help integrate data. AI can’t do that work for us.

These models were not built to explain the brain. Treating them as model organisms that we can evolve will move us closer to understanding the brain.

LLMs are now routinely used to search, summarize and synthesize the literature—yet scientific publishing has not adapted to that reality.

Agentic coding makes it possible to specify a neuroscience model in hours instead of months. Neuroscientists weigh in on that tectonic change.

POSITION SUMMARY The Transmitter offers up-to-date news and analysis of neuroscience and is dedicated to helping scientists at all career stages stay current and build connections. Our award-winning n...

LLMs are now routinely used to search, summarize and synthesize the literature—yet scientific publishing has not adapted to that reality.

Their research revealed how neurons synthesize proteins in previously unrecognized places.

A new tool places every OHBM 2026 abstract inside a semantic map of the neuroscience literature, so you can find your neighbors.

Disagreement in neuroscience runs deeper than most researchers suspect—even in electrophysiology, a field that prides itself on hard data.

Exploring why Anthropic’s AI, Claude, displays something like emotion could ultimately help us better understand the function that emotions serve in humans.

Brain function is inexorably shaped by the body. Embracing this will benefit computational models of real brain function and the design of ANNs.

Exploring why Anthropic’s AI, Claude, displays something like emotion could ultimately help us better understand the function that emotions serve in humans.

AI is pushing scientific publishing to the brink. For neuroscience, the crisis may be an opportunity to finally connect findings across subfields.

Prediction without understanding sustained astronomy through a thousand years of epicycles. Artificial intelligence is now offering neuroscience the same deal.

This summer, NASW is again offering its virtual summer mentoring program for graduate and undergraduate students, which will run from **June 3 to July 29**. Register by May 1.
