Measuring the activity of hundreds of neurons in macaque brains simultaneously provides further evidence that drift-diffusion dynamics underlie how decisions are made in the brain.

Exposure to ketone bodies in early development can reduce neurological impairments in a strain of the nematode C. elegans with PTEN defects.

Oxytocin neuron projections from two brain regions involved in parental care regulate both parental care and infanticidal behaviors in virgin mandarin voles.

Early-career researchers in the Global South have to overcome obstacles that are not found in high-income countries, but in Morocco at least, the future is looking brighter than the past.

Solitary fibrous tumors have gene expression signatures similar to those of neuroendocrine tumors.

The neurotransmitter dopamine helps form long-term memories by increasing the production of proteins through a unique signaling pathway.

Changes in neural activity thought to reflect brain aging may be partly influenced by age-dependent signals ‘leaking’ from the heart.

A complex extracted from the amniotic membrane in humans reduces post-surgical pain in mice by directly inhibiting pain-sensing neurons.

A tailored cocktail of genes can reprogram a subset of progenitors to no longer produce glial cells and instead develop into neurons involved in motor control.

Computational principles shed light on why movement is preceded by preparatory activity within the neural networks that control muscles.
