Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with no cure and limited treatment options.

What makes this neural cluster unusual is its binary activity pattern: it is consistently active in females but largely ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

Deep inside the brain, every thought and memory begins with a burst of electrical activity. For years, scientists have tried ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope.

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

The team’s research provides compelling evidence for the brain’s influence on physiology. A deeper understanding of this mind ...

Why is sleep so important for learning and memory? Neuroscientists from the Csicsvari group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) provided new insight into this essential function ...
