This year’s new cohort of National Academy of Medicine members includes two investigators funded by the Simons Foundation. Election to the academy “recognizes individuals who have demonstrated …

With standardized datasets, community-building challenges and simplified software bundles, research initiatives strive to bring uniformity to analysis in neuroscience.

Success in flies and worms has inspired several efforts to reconstruct more complex mammalian brain circuits. Reconstructing a whole mouse brain using electron microscopy is the next logical …

As we think, information is routed all over the brain, undergoing a complex series of transformations. Successful tracking of those transformations may help scientists decipher the brain’s …

As the technology to control groups of neurons matures, researchers are trying to figure out how to use it to answer neuroscience’s big questions.

Karel Svoboda aims to understand how neural circuits give rise to sustained activity, the neural correlate of short-term memory.

When it comes to data sharing, neuroscience lags behind many other fields. But a growing number of large-scale projects are inspiring new efforts to develop workable tools.

How do neural circuits hold on to an idea even though individual neurons only fire within milliseconds after stimulation? So-called attractor dynamics may explain memory-related activity.

Neurodata Without Borders wants to transform the field by making it easier to share research.

Previous research suggests that the neural signals underlying working memory reside in the cortex. But the new findings suggest the thalamus is a vital contributor.

Experimental evolution enables scientists to create better calcium and voltage sensors.

Amid an onslaught of large-scale neuroscience projects, a special issue of Neuron explores how neuroscientists can work together more effectively and how to leverage new technologies.

… melanogaster flies, mosquitoes and people, Vosshall’s research has yielded new knowledge about how odor stimuli are processed and perceived. Finally, Simons Foundation co-founder Jim Simons …
