This important study suggests that adolescent mice exhibit less accuracy than adult mice in a sound discrimination task when the sound frequencies are very similar. While the evidence supporting this ...

Huang and colleagues examined neural responses in mouse anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) during a discrimination-avoidance task. The authors present useful findings that ACC neurons encode primarily ...

In a study published in Science today, Mingsha Zhang, a neuroscientist at Beijing Normal University, focused on the thalamus.

Our brains contain billions of neurons and trillions of connections, and scientists are only beginning to understand the ...

Have you ever felt a chill run down your spine while watching someone else in distress? This phenomenon, known as vicarious ...

Researchers have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic 'barcode', they have been able to follow the ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed ...

In a lab at Queen Mary University of London, a mouse was born whose existence defied conventional biology. It carried within ...

The same genes could hold the key to regenerating cells in the ear and eye, according to a new mouse study. Researchers focused on a group of interacting genes called the Hippo pathway, which serve as ...

Nintendo announced that its Switch 2 Joy-Cons could be used as a mouse — in either hand, even — during its Switch 2 Direct on April 2. Mice and other pointers have been aiding in making ...

I tested the Muse S Athena, a $475 brain-training headband that combines EEG and functional near-infrared spectroscopy to measure brain activity and oxygen levels to give you real-time feedback.
