Breakthroughs in genetically altering cephalopods pave way for new studies of perception, brain evolution, and more

Across animal phyla, odor information is represented in the first olfactory processing center by combinatorial activation of discrete glomeruli. To examine how this organization of olfactory processin...

Intelligent behavior requires experience-dependent internal representations of relevant information. We examined representational learning in telencephalic area pDp of adult zebrafish, the homolog of ...

Variability is a prominent feature of animal behavior across species. Despite highly controlled experimental conditions, the same individual often responds differently to repeated identical stimulatio...

Functional heterogeneity of dorsal raphe nucleus is not fully understood. Here authors show topographically organized sensory and locomotor responses from the zebrafish dorsal raphe and its forebrain ...

Thalamocortical projections shape the functional regionalization and parallel sensory computations across the mammalian cortex. However, the principles of thalamocortical computations in non-mammalian...

The understanding of experience-dependent plasticity in the vertebrate retina is largely incomplete. Reynolds et al. discovered that raising animals in differently patterned visual environments change...

The Diversity Award is an annual initiative, launched in 2021, to support neuroethological scientists disadvantaged due to gender, ethnicity, disability, class, or other characteristics, and help them...

Penalva-Tena et al. demonstrate that Danionella cerebrum, a miniature fish that is gaining popularity as a neuroscience model, seeks out conspecifics and that the resulting social interactions can sup...

Potassium ion (K+) dynamics are vital for various biological processes. However, the limited availability of detection tools for tracking intracellular and extracellular K+ has impeded a comprehensive...

A mutant gene is coming to steal Linde Jacobs’s mind. Can she find a way to stop it?
