U.S. collaboration with the participation of the European Neuroscience Institute Göttingen (ENI-G), researchers have shown that fruit flies can adapt their social behavior and learn from these ...

To enable more accurate estimation of connectivity, we propose a data-driven and theoretically grounded framework for optimally designing perturbation inputs, based on formulating the neural model as ...

Seep deprivation impairs social memory by disrupting oxytocin signaling in the hippocampus and prelimbic cortex.

Boosting mitochondrial calcium by inhibiting the LETM1 protein enhances long-term memory formation in flies and mice.

Abstract: Optogenetics has emerged as a pivotal tool in neuroscience, enabling intricate modulation of targeted neurons within the nervous system. Despite its transformative potential, achieving high ...

Who are you? What’s going on deep inside yourself? How do you understand your own mind? The ancient sages had big debates about this, and now modern neuroscience is helping us sort it all out. When my ...

Synaptic plasticity—the brain's ability to modify the connections between neurons to support learning—is one of the neural functions profoundly altered in Huntington's disease, with a direct impact on ...

In a new leap for neurobiology and bioelectronics, Northwestern University scientists have developed a wireless device that uses light to send information directly to the brain - bypassing the body's ...

Victor (Vik) Pérez does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond ...

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis say they created a new kind of fiber-optic device that can manipulate neural activity deep in the brain. The team from both the McKelvey School of ...

A mutation-agnostic gene therapy approach offers new possibilities for patients, especially those with inherited retinal diseases. For decades, I had to deliver the difficult message to patients with ...
