What birds can teach us about the 'biological truth' of sex Apr 22, 2025

Show notes

Part of our job as educators is to give students a deeper understanding of the true diversity of sex and gender in the natural world.

Noninvasive technologies can map and target human brain with unprecedented precision Apr 21, 2025

Show notes

But to fully grasp the tools' potential, we need to better understand how electric and magnetic fields interact with the brain.

During decision-making, brain shows multiple distinct subtypes of activity Apr 18, 2025

Show notes

Person-to-person variability in brain activity might represent meaningful differences in cognitive processes, rather than random noise.

Smell studies often use unnaturally high odor concentrations, analysis reveals Apr 16, 2025

Show notes

It's time to fashion olfactory neuroscience stimuli based on odor concentrations in the wild, say study investigators Elizabeth Hong and Matt Wachowiak.

Functional MRI can do more than you think Apr 14, 2025

Show notes

Recent technological advances provide a range of new and different information about brain physiology. But taking full advantage of these gains depends on collaboration between engineers and neuroscientists.

U.S. human data repositories 'under review' for gender identity descriptors Apr 09, 2025

Show notes

Researchers associated with the repositories received an email from the U.S. National Institutes of Health in March noting that they must comply with a 20 January executive order from President Trump that recognizes only two sexes: male and female.

Inhibitory cells work in concert to orchestrate neuronal activity in mouse brain Apr 09, 2025

Show notes

A cubic millimeter of brain tissue, meticulously sectioned, stained and scrutinized over the past seven years, reveals in stunning detail the role of inhibitory interneurons in brain structure and function.
