Kevin Sinfield completed the final leg of his fundraising challenge that saw him run seven ultramarathons in memory of Rob Burrow, who was diagnosed with MND in 2019 and died in 2024; Burrow wore the ...

The test was developed by researchers at the US-based not-for-profit Brain Chemistry Labs, who analysed 788 blood samples – roughly half from patients with the disease and half from people without it.

How did you feel when you completed the book? There was a mix of emotions but I think the biggest feeling was: ‘That’s a good job done’. It was well over two years of working closely with Andrea ...

This important study combines optogenetic manipulations and wide-field imaging to show that the retrosplenial cortex controls behavioral responses to whisker deflection in a context-dependent manner.

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

This important study reports three experiments examining how the subjective experience of task regularities influences perceptual decision-making. Although the evidence linking subjective ratings to ...

In this collection, we welcome submissions that further our understanding of species’ evolutionary responses to contemporary global change. This Collection seeks to highlight new innovative research ...
