This is a Perspective covering a Python toolbox for neuroscience research that enables users to fetch datasets, construct networks and null models, estimate graph metrics, fit statistical models and v...

Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channels support the glymphatic system, a brain-wide pathway that clears cerebral waste products. Here, we use AQP4 gene expression to reconstruct a whole-brain glymphatic-rel...

Author summary A wide range of respiratory viruses (influenza viruses, coronaviruses, respiratory syncytial virus, ...) circulate in the same communities and can infect the same individuals. Yet, the ...

Hermann Haken’s synergetics provides a fundamental theoretical framework for understanding the emergence of macroscopic order from microscopic interactions in complex dynamical systems. In this paper,...

Mizrachi et al. show that directing attention to bodily sensations, rather than away, promotes more regulated acute inflammatory responses in healthy volunteers, revealing sensory and vagal pathways l...

Modeling how networks change under structural perturbations can yield foundational insights into network robustness, which is critical in many real-world applications. The largest connected component ...

The maternal gut microbiome is a predictor of infant eczema.

ALT: You Broke My Heart - Emotional Scene

Author summary Living organisms constantly process information to make decisions. Which are the computational processes that translate sequences of sensory cues into courses of actions? Since the inte...

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...

Amid the rise of billion-parameter models, I argue that toy models, with just a few neurons, remain essential—and may be all neuroscience needs.

Levodopa restores the balance between exploration and exploitation in Parkinson’s disease.

Foraging is a universal animal behavior that has increasingly attracted the interest of both experimentalists and theorists. Most prior models assume an animal knows the distribution of resources in i...

Forgotten memories in Drosophila persist as silent memory traces and can be recovered by reminder cues. Manipulating reminders can create false memories, showing that memory reconstruction flexibly in...

Mechanism-informed models that can simulate counterfactual mental-health trajectories remain scarce in digital phenotyping. Most existing approaches either predict outcomes from sensor-derived data wi...

Neurons in the brain are often many synapses away from motoneurons, yet if a movement results in error, each distant neuron needs a teacher that considers its specific contribution to production of th...

How do large-scale functional brain networks dynamically emerge to enable cognition? Correlated oscillations, a mechanism for inter-areal interactions, can be expressed as phase coherence or correlate...
