Human extracellular matrices can be edited in their composition using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, leading to materials exhibiting tailored regenerative capacities.

This valuable study shows that an odorant that is typically thought of as a repellant actually activates both attractant and repellant olfactory neurons in C. elegans. Solid evidence is provided that ...

This important research addresses the effects of subjective control and task difficulty on experienced stress using a novel behavioral task in two, large online samples. Convincing evidence is ...

Visual perception and behavior are mediated by cortical areas that have been distinguished using architectonic and retinotopic criteria. We employed fluorescence imaging and GCaMP6 reporter mice to ...

The cellular context for displaying carotenoid-dependent colors differs between endothermic and ectothermic vertebrates. In birds, carotenoids are concentrated in keratinocytes of the skin and ...

Genomic studies in humans are uncovering hundreds of gene variants associated with neurological and psychiatric diseases, such as autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s disease. To validate these ...

New results help address a longstanding debate regarding which learning strategies allow animals to anticipate negative events based on past associations between sensory stimuli.

A Congressional Science & Technology policy fellow outlines some options available for responding to the blatant attacks on science and the scientific workforce in the US.

In addition to its critical role in encoding individual episodes, the hippocampus is capable of extracting regularities across experiences. This ability is central to category learning, and a growing ...

Dopaminergic neurons modulate neural circuits and behaviors via dopamine (DA) release from expansive, long range axonal projections. The elaborate cytoarchitecture of these neurons is embedded within ...

Ageing is the gradual decline in organismal fitness that occurs over time leading to tissue dysfunction and disease. At the cellular level, ageing is associated with reduced function, altered gene ...

Miniaturized fluorescence microscopes (miniscopes) have been instrumental to monitor neural signals during unrestrained behavior and their open-source versions have made them affordable. Often, the ...
