To enhance AI safety, take a lesson from biological brains; a small set of wants maintains durable control over a much larger cognitive system.

How does a brain wire itself, starting from a single cell, using only the information encoded in a genome? We pose this as an engineering problem.

Agentic coding makes it possible to specify a neuroscience model in hours instead of months. Neuroscientists weigh in on that tectonic change.

Speech is a crowning achievement of human evolution, the skill that separates us from every other animal. So, it would stand to reason that evolving this capability required some enormous leap in brai...

High-throughput barcoded neuroanatomy of two closely related rodent species with divergent vocalizations reveals differences in long-range projection motifs in the brain that may s...

How is brain development coordinated over long distances as it grows from a single zygote to billions of cells? Kerstjens et al. propose that positional information is inherited through the cell linea...

Prediction without understanding sustained astronomy through a thousand years of epicycles. Artificial intelligence is now offering neuroscience the same deal.

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold Sprin...

Data collected from zoos and aquariums worldwide show that hormonal contraception or permanent surgical sterilization in mammals increase life expectancy, with different mechanisms in males and female...

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainl

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Funding from the Swartz and Sloan Foundations helped bring physicists and mathematicians into neuroscience for more than 30 years.

America’s run as the premiere techno-superpower may be over.

Researchers who saw their NIH grants restored could face long waits accessing the money.

Our genomes are peppered with DNA segments called retrotransposons that can move from place to place. When unleashed, some can kill nerves and promote inflammation — a discovery that may inspire treat...
