Comparing brain responses across species is essential for identifying models of human cognition and testing theories of brain evolution, but differences in brain size, measurement techniques, and sign...

Karl Deisseroth, George Nagel and Peter Hegemann developed optogenetics, which uses light and genetics to control individual cells

Yakubovskaya et al. show that motion adaptation shifts macaque IT population codes for object position in a direction that mirrors human perceptual mislocalization. Current feedforward, recurrent, and...

We’re delighted to invite you to the 19th Annual Pre-SfN Motor Symposium, to be held Friday, November 13 at Georgetown University. Meeting Scope: This meeting has a traditional focus on spinal and b...

Researchers developed a multilayer MEG framework that estimates activity across cortical depth non-invasively. Simulations and three human datasets show when reliable laminar inference is possible, en...

Brain Canada announces this year’s Future Leaders cohort – 26 early-career researchers receiving $100,000 each to advance brain and mental health research across Canada

Chiang and Rich show that macaques spontaneously chunk spatial targets in a self-ordered working memory task. dlPFC neurons compress chunked targets into lower-dimensional representations that are shi...

Recent studies reveal striking representational alignment between artificial neural networks (ANNs) and biological brains, leading to proposals that all sufficiently capable systems converge on univer...

Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 13 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02548-8Weber et al. show that the normally conserved spatial organization of the digit response maps in primary somatosensory cortex is altered in patients with surgically repaired hand nerves.
