The University of Texas at San Antonio College invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the Assistant Professor level

Optogenetic stimulation of motor-cortex neuron ensembles shows that precisely timed activity in the primary motor cortex can generate learned neural patterns and movements, demonstrating an active rol...

The recurrent h∆K–PFG neural circuit generates persistent heading memories through slow excitation, fast inhibition and a disinhibitory gate, where disinhibition controls the functional...

Knox et al. compare and contrast the biological effects of endogenous serotonin with psychedelics.

In a randomized study in 57 healthy-weight adults, researchers compared nutritionally matched ultraprocessed and non-ultraprocessed meals and found that ultraprocessed foods elicited greater insulin a...

In this web exclusive, the author offers a longer version of his December 2010 Scientific American article on how researchers can probe how the nervous system works in unprecedented detail, using a te...

Paradoxical responses, in which excitatory perturbations of inhibitory neurons reduce their firing rates, are widely regarded as a hallmark of inhibition-stabilized networks (ISNs) and have been obser...

Nature Neuroscience - Senne, Suthard and colleagues show that dorsal hippocampal astrocytes display time-compressed calcium-event sequences after foot shock and upon context re-exposure, and that...

Using a combined approach of monkey electrophysiology, artificial neural networks and human psychophysics, Xue et al. show that neuronal interference from irrelevant information underlies behavioral e...

In mice, a sparse population of sleep-active long-range inhibitory neurons in the neocortex promote widespread cortical synchronization and sleep, revealing a cortical mechanism that co...

Neural sequences, characterized by neurons or groups of neurons that fire one after the other, have been observed in multiple brain regions, across species, and are known to underlie a diversity of br...

I use birdsong to understand how the brain learns complex skills across molecules, synapses, circuits, behavior, and computation. On the 2026–27 faculty job market.

Join the Department of Experimental and Applied Psychology (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) as Assistant Professor in cognitive neuroscience.

GNB1 encephalopathy (GNB1-E) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder associated with motor dysfunction, epilepsy and learning disability caused by mutations in the gene encoding the G protein subunit Gβ...

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the sole output neurons of the retina, responsible for transmitting visual information to the brain. Recent transcriptomic studies have revealed extensive molecular d...

Kim, Geiger et al. report that early-life stress increases the chromatin modification H3K4me1 and its enzymatic writer, SETD7, in the ventral tegmental area. They show that this form of epigenetic pri...

Both aging and a high-fat diet (HFD) dampen circadian gene transcription rhythms and promote chronic inflammation. How aging and HFD interact to affect peripheral molecular clocks and circadian behavi...

Forgotten memories in Drosophila persist as silent memory traces and can be recovered by reminder cues. Manipulating reminders can create false memories, showing that memory reconstruction flexibly in...

Language is included to delay the president’s move to put political appointees in charge of grant approval.

Basement membranes are scaffolds of proteins, like collagen, that give organs shape. During development, basement membranes must adapt to the growing organ. We infer how fast the basement membrane ada...
