The largest study of its kind examines the brains of people living with obsessive-compulsive disorder and offers new insights into the condition.

Microglia are important to brain function, and also seem to play a role in disease. New work offers the most comprehensive accounting of brain microglia to date and opens a new chapter in brain exploration. The researchers performed RNA sequencing of 7…

Scientists identify single neurons in the human brain that catch our mistakes and correct future behavior.

In a new study, researchers demonstrate how functional ultrasound imaging can yield high-resolution, brain-wide activity maps of mice for specific behaviors. The non-invasive technology has promising applications for ophthalmologic, neurologic and psyc…

Scientists have identified a brain region that helps tell an animal when to attack an intruder and when to accept it into its home.

What does the brain do when things go bump in the night? Researchers are looking at neural activity in the amygdala by studying how mice react when they hear a sound they’ve been taught to fear.

Scientists have demonstrated a new neurotechnology for reading out neural signals of position in real-time as rats run a maze, or replay it during sleep, with a high degree of accuracy, with more than 1,000 input channels, and the ability to account fo…

A team of researchers has developed a powerful new approach to understand the formation of new neurons in the mammalian adult brain.

A new study examines whether pregnancy changes mothers’ neural sensitivity to infants’ facial cues, and whether such changes affect mother-infant bonding. The study finds that increases in cortical responses to infants’ faces from the prenatal to the p…
