New neurodata laws will shape how researchers gather, share and reuse brain data. Use-based laws protect basic researchers without freezing science.

Work by Moran and Desimone showed that monkeys could focus their attention on different stimuli in their visual field without shifting their gaze.

The facilities were meant to last 100 years. Four decades shy of that mark, amid flatlined funds and mounting political pressure, their directors are trying to find a path forward.

As the U.S. government takes steps to stop using nonhuman primates in research, The Transmitter investigates what that shift means for neuroscience.

The Transmitter asked 17 neuroscientists what questions might remain unanswered if support for nonhuman primate research continues to decline.

Davi Bock’s lab took 21 million images for the fruit fly connectome. Now he wants to apply “this high-throughput flashlight” across biology.

The technique enables neuroscientists to target brain circuits with unprecedented specificity, transforming the study of memory, reward and more.

A process that uses a lottery system saves time and accepts that, above a quality threshold, luck has always played a part in science funding.

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

Each of the frog’s eight fingers branches into 16 ultra-sensitive tips, which together function as a fovea.

Since Alzheimer’s disease researcher José Luna-Muñoz assumed leadership of the facility—Latin America’s oldest—in 2011, he has been acquiring additional tissue types and is working to expand donor…

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

Kevin Mitchell talks with Huda Zoghbi about her work finding the MECP2 gene, dissecting the role it plays in the brain, and developing new therapies.

A look at the scientists studying brains and behavior in species found almost nowhere else. Check out our collection of articles on current neuroethology research in Latin America. By @natmesanash ...

Neural manifold properties can help us understand how animal brains deal with complex information, execute flexible behaviors and reuse common computations.

At Blackrock Neurotech, Spencer Kellis develops implantable devices that help people with brain and spinal cord conditions communicate, move and more.

The Transmitter and Neuromatch surveyed more than 300 early-career neuroscientists to better understand their unique challenges, career aspirations and support needs.

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

Explore how researchers in six Latin American countries conduct high-quality research in the face of numerous obstacles.

Progress in physics-based simulators and robotics makes it easier to use neuromechanical modeling to test hypotheses about animal movement.

When flies encounter a tasty smell, they stroll in and out of the odor plume to keep track of it, encoding a memory of the angle they need to travel.

Ovenbirds, electric fish, tree frogs and other regional fauna help neuroscientists ask novel research questions in the field.

Our summer reading list includes books on the Human Brain Project, the neuroscience of motherhood and the career of a Huntington’s disease researcher.

As the FALAN Congress kicks off next week, its president shares FALAN’s plans to foster regional collaboration and early-career training regionally.

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