On April 26 and 29, 2021, SFARI and the Simons Initiative for the Developing Brain hosted a virtual workshop that focused on the use of rats as a …

Peter Kind and Loren Frank discuss their work using SFARI’s genetic rat models and their views on how these models will aid autism research.

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 …

In the wake of massive lab shutdowns, systems and computational neuroscientists are figuring out how to continue their work without performing experiments.

SFARI held its 15th science meeting April 7–9, 2019. Over 100 SFARI investigators, collaborators and foundation staff convened to discuss recent findings on the genetics, molecular- and …

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.

A potentially game-changing algorithm eliminates manual sorting in the analysis of neural signals.

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

New electrode technologies dramatically increase the number of cells and length of time that scientists can record from the brain.

New insights into how the brain makes decisions, recognizes novel objects and controls attention were among many areas discussed at the second annual gathering of the Simons Collaboration …

The inaugural meeting of the Simons Collaboration on the Global Brain reviewed the progress made in understanding the neural basis of memory, decision making and behavior
