Viviana Hernández-Castañón, a postdoctoral associate at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, will use a fellowship from the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation to investigate brain activi...

Meike van der Heijden found that studying activity in Purkinje cells in the cerebellum is not a reliable substitute for understanding activity in connected but less accessible deep cerebellar nuclei c...

Communication between distant brain regions is mediated by plastic networks of gap junction-coupled astrocytes.

Blumberg et al. present video evidence of twitching during adult sleep in a diverse sample of animals. Adult twitching appears to selectively involve appendages used for active sensing, mirroring thei...

Can we have it all? Here we are featuring some stories of women who have certainly managed to have a great deal: a successful scientific career and a family. How do they do it? (Note: many of our w…
