Scientists have discovered that time spent exploring an environment causes neural representations to grow in surprising ways. This discovery provides valuable methods for analyzing data on neurocognitive disorders involving learning and memory, such as…

Scientists show in mice how time-restricted eating influences gene expression across more than 22 regions of the body and brain. The findings have implications for a wide range of health conditions where time-restricted eating has shown potential benef…

A new study suggests that voice and face recognition are linked even more intimately than previously thought.

‘Single-cell profiling’ is helping neuroscientists see how disease affects major brain cell types and identify common, potentially targetable pathways.

Comparing models of working memory with real-world data, researchers found that information resides not in persistent neural activity, but in the pattern of their connections.

New insights into the opposing actions of serotonin-producing nerve fibers in mice could lead to drugs for treating addictions and major depression.

A team of researchers has mapped the parts of the brain that support our ability to solve problems without prior experience — otherwise known as fluid intelligence.

A remote fear memory is a memory of traumatic events that occurred in the distant past — a few months to decades ago. A mouse study has now spelled out the fundamental mechanisms by which the brain consolidates remote fear memories. The study demonstr…

Researchers have revealed a brain mechanism that mice use to instinctively escape to shelter when faced with a threat. This is the first time that neuroscientists have been able to find such a clear link between spatial goals and actions.
