Latest Episodes:

Body state, sensory signals commingle in mouse whisker cortex Aug 06, 2025

Show notes

The new study challenges a long-held view that the barrel cortex exclusively encodes sensory signals from the whiskers.

Neural population-based approaches have opened new windows into neural computations and behavior Aug 04, 2025

Show notes

Neural manifold properties can help us understand how animal brains deal with complex information, execute flexible behaviors and reuse common computations.

Poor image quality introduces systematic bias into large neuroimaging datasets Jul 31, 2025

Show notes

Analyses that include low-quality MRI data underestimate cortical thickness and overestimate cortical surface area, according to new findings from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study.

Eye puffs prompt separable sensory, affective brain responses in mice, people Jul 29, 2025

Show notes

Post-puff brain state might not be an emotion, some researchers caution, but the protocol provides a cross-species approach to study emotions.

What U.S. science stands to lose without international graduate students and postdoctoral researchers Jul 28, 2025

Show notes

Neuroscience in other countries will strengthen-at the United States' expense-as rising visa restrictions and rejections block many international students from enrolling at U.S. institutions and dissuade others from applying.

New dopamine sensor powers three-color imaging in live animals Jul 25, 2025

Show notes

The tool leverages a previously unused segment of the color spectrum to track the neurotransmitter and can be used with two additional sensors to monitor other neurochemicals at different wavelengths.

Cell 'antennae' link autism, congenital heart disease Jul 24, 2025

Show notes

Variants in genes tied to both conditions derail the formation of cilia, the tiny hair-like structure found on almost every cell in the body, a new study finds.

How to build a truly global computational neuroscience community Jul 23, 2025

Show notes

Computational sciences offer an opportunity to increase global access to, and participation in, neuroscience. Neuromatch's inclusive, scalable model for community building shows how to realize this promise.

This paper changed my life: Victoria Abraira on a tasty link between circuits and behavior Jul 22, 2025

Show notes

The findings from Charles Zuker's lab put the taste system on the map, revealing that some fundamental principles of behavior are hardwired.

Breaking the jar: Why NeuroAI needs embodiment Jul 21, 2025

Show notes

Brain function is inexorably shaped by the body. Embracing this fact will benefit computational models of real brain function, as well as the design of artificial neural networks.
