Researchers have developed a gene therapy platform that combines engineered viral vectors with the brain's glymphatic transport system to deliver therapeutic genes broadly and selectively throughout t...

Human vision isn’t a direct recording of the world. That’s why virtual and augmented reality still struggle to replicate it.

Using computational and theoretical models shows how adult-neurogenesis and spike-timing-dependent plasticity balance the flexibility and stability of odor representations.

A new optogenetic method precisely controls how different regions of the brain communicate, enabling scientists to study the brain networks underlying complex behavior and brain disorders.

Enter a world of possibilities: generate ideas, get answers, have conversations, create endless images. Often, artificial intelligence or large language models, like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude, can se...

A new study suggests that reinforcing the body’s natural daily rhythms may improve stroke recovery by boosting the brain’s ability to clear waste and inflammatory molecules.

Decision-making is a continuous process that manifests as evolving sequences of motor movements while animals navigate the sensory environment. Studying decision-making in a naturalistic setting has…

It has long been understood that experiencing two senses simultaneously, like seeing and hearing, can lead to improved responses relative to those seen when only one sensory input is experienced by…

Listeners—regardless of formal musical training—can track complex tonal structures, offering a unique look at how the brain processes context.

The Portman lab at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester discovered that the male roundworms use pheromones and touch signals to determine the sex, age, nutritional…

Researchers in the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience find that the brain is taking an extra step when listening to one speaker in a crowd, and not taking that step with the other words swirling…
