Trying to document how single brain cells participate in networks that govern behavior is a daunting task. Brain probes called Neuropixels, which feature high-density silicon arrays, have enabled ...

These results could prompt more research exploring the therapeutic benefits of psilocybin and how it could foster adaptive behavior. In addition, future work could examine the neural mechanisms ...

New research suggests that it could be possible to separate treatment from hallucinations when developing new drugs based on psychedelics. The anti-anxiety andhallucination-inducing qualities of ...

For more than a decade, neuroscientists had recordings from monkey brains learning to sort visual patterns. They had analyzed the data, published landmark papers, and moved on. Then a computer model ...

Tumors do not communicate only with immune cells, blood vessels, and stromal tissue. A growing body of evidence suggests that cancer can also co-opt the nervous system, reshaping the tumor ...

Univeristy of Michigan researchers have discovered a neural pathway that helps explain the gnawing behavior of rodents. This could also help explain other gnawing behaviors, such as why dogs chew ...

Researchers have mapped the long-range synaptic connections involved in vocal learning in zebra finches, uncovering new details about how the brain organizes learned vocalizations such as birdsong.

A brain circuit involving leptin allows mice to carry out vital behaviors, such as eating and sleeping, during anxious episodes. A study led by researchers at the University of Cologne and University ...

University of California, Los Angeles, researchers have identified neural mechanisms behind prosocial behaviors in mice directed toward unresponsive conspecifics. Their findings suggest that mice, ...

In the CAB Lab we study the neural and behavioral mechanisms that exert control over choices and adjustment of behavior to changes in the environment. We specifically focus on cortical circuits ...
