Neurophysiologist Elena Gracheva uncovers the secrets of how animals emerge, healthy, from the deathlike torpor of hibernation.

Mechanosensory neurons in ground squirrels retain their signaling abilities despite prolonged exposure to cold temperatures.

Yale School of Medicine (YSM) was awarded a grant of nearly $25 million by the Aligning Research to Impact Autism (ARIA) initiative. The award, which is part of

Mutations in VPS13 proteins are associated with neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s disease. New findings could point to therapeutic avenues.

A new study uncovers the structure of a toxic form of amyloid beta driving brain damage associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

This study combined macaque brain recordings into ‘super-sessions’ to reveal causal interactions underlying social gaze, identifying distinct prefrontal-amygdala network dynamics when primates directe...

Amy Arnsten, PhD, Albert E. Kent professor of Neuroscience, received the 2026 Peter Seeburg Integrative Neuroscience Prize, awarded by the Schaller-Nikolich

The intrinsic cardiac nervous system (ICNS) is a key node in heart-brain communication and an emerging target for cardiac therapy, yet its physiologic…

On March 29, 2026, 60 Yale scientists came together to orchestrate activities around the brain for about 90 middle school students from the greater New Haven

A new Yale study finds that organs help direct the development of their own nervous systems, creating specialized networks that enable a two-way conversation between body and brain.

Accumulation of a biological material called lipofuscin is associated with aging and neurodegeneration. A new study uncovers a driver of this process.

Breakthroughs on Parkinson's could lead to treatments for other brain ills like Lewy body dementia and Alzheimer's.

In a new study, Yale researchers found that marmoset monkeys rely on visual clues and evidence accumulation to synchronize their behavior during cooperative tasks.

New insight into how our eyes work could yield deeper understanding of visual processing with relevance to conditions such as macular degeneration and glaucoma.

Successful cooperation requires the dynamic integration of social cues. However, the neural mechanisms supporting this complex process remain unknown.…

Axons experience strong mechanical forces due to animal movement. These forces serve as sensory cues in mechanosensory neurons, but their impact on ot…

Pietro De Camilli always wanted to be a scientist. He has spent his career bridging cell biology and neuroscience.

A neurotransmitter known to quiet activity in the brain can sometimes do the opposite, researchers find, offering implications for psychiatric treatment.

Two YSM graduate students were among the winners of Yale's 2026 3-Minute Thesis Competition, wherein students present their research to the public in just three

A fully automated 3D tracking framework reveals that sex and familiarity strongly shape natural social gaze dynamics in freely interacting marmosets.
