Volume electron microscopy reveals a novel cellular process that is critical for healthy brain development, with implications for tumor formation.

The enjoyment of a good scare may have more to do with relief than terror.

Popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic are used to treat obesity and diabetes. Now, researchers found that these drugs also affect rodent brains in other ways. 

Josephine Thinwa shares her journey to becoming a physician scientist and how this led her to investigate the role of a neurologically important kinase in virus-induced autophagy.

Dopamine is a nuanced molecule that not only plays important roles in bad habits but also in behaviors that are necessary for survival and well-being.

Psilocybin, a psychedelic compound in magic mushrooms, triggers brain activity characteristic of dream states.

In this webinar, scientists will discuss the advantages of assembloid models and the fundamentals of imaging 3D neuronal architecture. 

Researchers investigate tauopathy mechanisms and turn to tau detection methods to help improve health care outcomes and lower the economic burden of these diseases.

In the mouse brain, nuclear RNAs can last for years with some of them potentially helping to maintain genome integrity.

Durable analytical instruments expedite the study of misfolded proteins linked to neurodegenerative diseases.

Cells send electrical impulses throughout the body, but electrophysiologists struggled to tune into these signals until the patch clamp technique was developed.

Researchers challenge a male-dominated field and advocate for more representation of female subjects.

Molecular neurobiologist Julie Moreno explores the consequences of protein misfolding in the brain.

For years, neuroscience research overlooked female subjects, creating a significant bias. Today, researchers actively rebalance the scales with more inclusive and diverse studies.

Leveraging the versatility of stem cells allows researchers to advance science across multiple disciplines.

By postnatally providing a transcription factor important for brain development, researchers fixed abnormalities generated in utero in mice.

Two studies tapped into the brain circuitry that allows fruit flies to navigate, offering clues to key principles that may govern navigation in more complex brains.
