From work meetings to first dates, it's essential to adjust our behavior for success. In certain situations, it can even be a matter of life or death. So how do we switch our behavior when situations ...

Top neuroscience labs are adapting new and unexpected tools to gain a deeper understanding of how mice, and ultimately humans, react to different drug treatments. By Peter Hess Published Jan 10, 2024 ...

There’s no question that hormones affect the brain—and if they affect the brain, that means they can affect behavior, too. That logic has long justified leaving female mice out of neuroscience studies ...

For the first time, a team of neuroscientists from Columbia University have controlled a visual behavior of a mouse by activating a few neurons in its visual cortex. In their study, published in Cell, ...

You can’t call it a dictionary just yet, but University of Delaware neuroscientist Joshua Neunuebel is starting to break the code mice use to communicate with each other. So far, it’s all ...

Brun Ulfhake spent decades studying aging in mice before he discovered a treasure trove of new data, one that many researchers overlook. Until this trove became available, researchers had a hard time ...

Researchers have demonstrated that specific groups of neurons, known as neuronal ensembles, have a causal role in behavior. The researchers used new optical and analytical tools to identify cortical ...
