Stimulation of human cortex reorganizes neural assemblies and induces cell-type-specific gene regulatory programs, establishing an ex vivo framework that links stimulation parameters to circuit and tr...

Sound perception requires sensory information processing through brain regions where alterations to cellular composition or function may impact auditory-relevant behaviors. The inferior colliculus (IC...

Episodic memory formation engages hippocampal oscillations that vary along the anterior-posterior axis, but the molecular programs supporting this physiological specialization remain unclear. Here, we...

We must stand together to protect our students, staff, faculty and our mission.

How genetic changes prior to the human-chimpanzee split contributed to human brain evolution remains unknown. Here, the authors address this by identifying open-chromatin regions divergent in various ...

Regulation of gene expression is a facet of human brain specialization. Here, the authors show that human-like expression of the CLOCK gene in the mouse neocortex enhances cognitive flexibility and ne...

The dorsal striatum is important for highly specialized functions including movement, learning, and habit formation. However, it is not known if species-specialized behaviors are associated with cellu...
