What can singing mice say about human speech?

Jen A. Miller — Wed, 06 May 2026 15:00:07 +0000

Speech is a crowning achievement of human evolution, the skill that separates us from every other animal. So, it would stand to reason that evolving this capability required some enormous leap in brain complexity. A study published today in Nature suggests otherwise. Alston’s singing mouse (Scotinomys teguina), a small rodent from the cloud forests of...

A new theory of brain development

Margaret Osborne — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 16:00:18 +0000

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? ��ϳԹ��Դ neuroscientists have come up with a surprisingly simple answer that could have far-reaching implications for biology...

Worldwide collaboration, brain-wide technology

Samuel Diamond — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 11:30:59 +0000

What if we could map how behaviors play out across the entire brain at the level of single cells? What if, using that data, we could measure how prior knowledge affects decision-making? As featured on CNN, two new studies from the International Brain Laboratory (IBL) suggest it’s no longer a question of “if” but “when.”...

NeuroAI with an eye on equity

Margaret Osborne — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 11:30:28 +0000

When OpenAI released ChatGPT in November 2022, artificial intelligence quickly hit the mainstream and became a global cultural phenomenon. The chatbot dominated headlines as it authored news articles, passed the bar exam, drafted lesson plans for teachers, and even wrote code. ChatGPT became the fastest-growing consumer application ever. In the months following its launch, companies...

Mapping the mind with BARseq

Nick Wurm — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 11:30:16 +0000

Understanding the connections between different brain areas could pave the way to better treatment strategies for conditions like Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, and depression. In 2019, as a postdoc in ��ϳԹ��Դ’s (CSHL’s) Zador lab, Xiaoyin Chen helped develop a technique to map these connections. BARseq identifies cells in the brain by the genes they...

New AI accurately predicts fly behavior

Samuel Diamond — Wed, 22 May 2024 15:00:49 +0000

We’ve been told, “The eyes are the window to the soul.” Well, windows work two ways. Our eyes are also our windows to the world. What we see and how we see it help determine how we move through the world. In other words, our vision helps guide our actions, including social behaviors. Now, a...

Mapping the path from smell to perception

Jennifer Michalowski — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 15:00:04 +0000

Our sense of smell has a powerful effect on our behavior and emotions. Aromas can evoke vivid memories of the past or warn us of a smoldering fire. Yet to neuroscientists, smell remains the most mysterious of our five senses. Once the nose detects something, how does the brain determine what it means? Scientists aren’t...

Got junk food on the brain? These cells may be to blame

Jennifer Michalowski — Thu, 20 Oct 2022 15:00:09 +0000

A region of the brain called the amygdala is responsible for powerful emotions like fear. Now, researchers have found the amygdala may also be to blame for overeating. ��ϳԹ��Դ (CSHL) Professor Bo Li has discovered a group of neurons in the amygdala that drives mice to eat fatty or sugary foods—even when...

Sniffing out the brain’s smelling power

Luis Sandoval — Thu, 29 Sep 2022 19:00:48 +0000

Since their discovery over 100 years ago, neurons in the brain’s olfactory bulb called tufted cells have been difficult to study. The close proximity between tufted cells and other neurons called mitral cells, restricted the ability to dissect each individual neuron’s activity. By leveraging fluorescent genetic markers and new optical imaging technologies, Cold Spring Harbor...
