The findings provide a new perspective on how granule cells in the cerebellum help to generalize across tasks.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

When preparing a scientific paper, we typically write with coauthors who have different backgrounds and styles, and we target readers who have little time and patience. To help both readers and writer...

Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 13 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02548-8Weber et al. show that the normally conserved spatial organization of the digit response maps in primary somatosensory cortex is altered in patients with surgically repaired hand nerves.

For decades, target–distractor similarity has been known to induce distinct visual search modes. A highly salient target can pop out, suggesting parallel processing of all items irrespective of set si...

A new study reveals that mirror neurons don’t just care about final goals. Instead, these brain cells work together in dynamic networks to continuously track the specific physical details of observed movements in real time.

Neuroscience as part of the natural sciences can engage in interdisciplinary projects with other academic disciplines, such as the humanities and the social science. In addition, within the overall d....

The mathematics community is right to call for transparency, integrity and fairness to be protected when AI tools are used. Researchers in other disciplines could learn from this approach.

Gating processes that regulate sensory input into visual working memory (WM) and the execution of planned actions share neural mechanisms, suggesting a mutual interaction. In a preregistered study (Op...

Abstract. Beta-band activity (15–30 Hz) in motor cortex is closely linked to movement-related processing, yet its transient burst dynamics during long-term learning remain poorly understood. We used h...

Post-doctoral position on motor control and aging for the FWO research project: MoCo: Motor Complexity and Aging

How the brain meets these competing demands–and where such a veridical “ground-truth” representation is computed–remains unknown. Here authors show that the cerebellar nodulus/uvula–a region essential...

Budget proposal would also curb federal payments for scientific publishing.

We study whether state-of-the-art AI coding agents, given the same data and research question, produce the same empirical results. Deploying 150 autonomous Clau

No. No it can't. Come on, now.

Data-analysis and modelling positions are already becoming obsolete, but hands-on experimentalists can breathe easy for now.
