Spiking neurons underlie the brain’s extreme energy efficiency, and therefore have great potential in neuromorphic computing, although realising this efficiency in practice has proven challenging. We ...

Cortical circuits prioritize diversity over categorical structure, supporting a computational regime geared towards high-dimensional, highly separable neural representations.

Flexible cognition utilizes reusable components to enable rapid adaptation of behavior to different contexts or tasks. Analysis of artificial neural networks trained on multiple tasks suggested that t...

SyeA was present in the Buchnera ancestor, is secreted into the host cytoplasm, is homologous to secreted effectors of bacterial pathogens and is essential for Buchnera transmission.

Altmetric provides a collated score for online attention across various platforms and media.See more details

Experiments using the comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi and the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis reveal that the emergence of a core signalling pathway may have been a key innovation enabling the transit...

The neural basis of grooming behavior remains incompletely understood. Here, the authors combine behavior, biomechanical simulations, connectome analysis, and neural network modeling to uncover centra...

PhD student Minsu Kim gained confidence, experience in the lab of neurobiologist Wei-Chung Allen Lee

We’ve documented more than 100 instances of apparent data manipulation in Thermo’s catalog

Brain-wide transcriptomic profiling in mice reveals that reproductive experience remodels the maternal brain by altering dopamine dynamics in the dorsal hippocampal formation, causing dopamine-depende...

Zeng and Deban provide an overview of ballistic tongues in three vertebrates, highlighting similarities and differences in launch and retraction mechanisms, ecological advantages, evolutionary history...

Researchers present a low-cost, modular fluorescence microscope built entirely from commercial parts for research and education. Demonstrations include muscle dynamics in Drosophila larvae, stride ana...

Combining a computational framework and optogenetic and chemogenetic manipulations within and downstream of the cortico-basal ganglia circuit identifies the specific cortico-basal ganglia synapse...

In studying primate vision, a large body of work focuses on the first feedforward sweep. During this initial time window, information is thought to pass through ventral stream regions in a stage-like ...

How insects maintain precise vision during rapid motion remains unclear. Here, the authors show that motion-driven photoreceptor dynamics and synaptic high-frequency jumping enable hyperacute, minimal...

Learn how researchers discovered a new superfamily living at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

Why do animals as different as insects and mammals process smells in nearly the same way? A new theoretical study published in PNAS takes on this question by […]

Weinreb et al. reveal a hierarchy of timescales in mouse behavior, including low-level syllables and high-level behavioral states. States and syllables are encoded in different brain areas. Prefrontal...

Delamare et al. present a computational model of memory formation inspired by recent experimental data, in which individual memories are encoded not only i
