Recordings of electrical activity in porcine brains finds similarities to rodent neural tissue.

Scientists can livestream how the mouse brain’s hippocampus maps the physical world and accesses those memories.  

Mice who get less attention from their mothers have more copies of a common retrotransposon in the genomes of their hippocampal neurons.

Failure to produce evidence of neural precursor cells and immature neurons raises questions about the role of the process in learning and memory.

Upping a gene’s expression in rat brains made them better learners and normalized the activity of hundreds of other genes to resemble the brains of younger animals.

Recording from single neurons of epilepsy patients, neuroscientists show that both the strength and timing of neuronal firing are important to consciously perceive a visual object. 

To tease apart brain regions involved in forming versus remembering memories, scientists engineered mice whose brain cells could be manipulated and tagged.

Using diffusion-weighted tractography, scientists can produce a detailed image of the minute neural fibers within a mouse brain.  

A drug commonly used to treat clinical depression sets its effects in motion by hampering the release of an inhibitory neurotransmitter in mice.
