An international collaboration led by Cornell researchers used a combination of psilocybin and the rabies virus to map ...

By combining psilocybin with a modified rabies virus that tracks neural connections, they mapped how networks change after a ...

The author writes, “The most comprehensive circuit diagram of neurons in a mammalian brain has been created by scientists, providing groundbreaking insights into the mystery of how the brain works.

This correspondence between brain state and brain responsiveness (statedependent responses) is outlined at different scales from the cellular and circuit level, to the mesoscale and macroscale level.

Brain researchers have identified a bridge between the thalamus and the cortex as the key area that is modified during motor learning functions. They found that such learning does much more than ...

You’ve probably noticed it yourself: As a teenager, you chased thrills headlong—late-night parties, first dates, impulsive dares—while today you hesitate before clicking “Buy,” let alone bungee ...

New research in mice from scientists at New York University Langone Health (NYU Langone Health) and their colleagues elsewhere identifies brain circuits that make memories more stable during learning.

Cheng Lyu is the winner of the 2025 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology for her work in understanding how neural circuits assemble with such remarkable precision during development. Neural ...

Researchers have developed a gene therapy technology that uses magnetic fields to switch groups of neurons on and off, controlling brain circuits affected by Parkinson’s disease. In addition to ...
