A study identifies the Agouti gene as a molecular "off switch" for paternal care in the brain, influenced by environmental social competition.

Aashish Manglik uncovers the conformational complexity of G protein–coupled receptors, fundamentally reshaping scientists’ understanding of cellular signaling.

A high-speed “zap-and-freeze” method is giving scientists their clearest view yet of how brain cells send messages. By freezing tissue at the instant a signal fires, researchers revealed how synaptic ...

The relationship between humans and prehistoric canids, a fundamental chapter in the history of our species, has just become significantly more complex. A multidisciplinary team of scientists has anno...

HHMI scientists Michael Yartsev and Gerald Carter are uncovering how bats learn, remember, and form social bonds — findings that could reshape how we understand our own brains and behaviors.

CRISPR-based epigenetic editing is used in a cell-type-specific, locus-restricted and temporally controllable manner in the adult mouse brain to modulate memory expression.

Understanding how the brain works has been a formidable challenge in neuroscience, but advances at the computational level are now driving us closer. This perspective discusses core concepts of neural...

Using fruit flies, University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers have developed a new model for investigating the genetic drivers of a rare but aggressive brain tumor in children. The work has already i...
