In mice, the brain’s main glial cell type exhibits distinctive patterns of activity across the sleep-wake cycle and influences the response to sleep deprivation.

Adult neurogenesis, already appreciated for its role in learning and memory, also participates in mental health and possibly even attention, new research suggests.

Cutting-edge microscopy is revealing how new neurons made in adult mice’s brains tap into existing neuronal connections.

Strategies to make lab animals forget, remember, or experience false recollections probe how memory works, and may inspire treatments for neurological diseases.

Two rodent models of glaucoma have defects in the waste drainage system.

Scientists traced 1,000 neurons through the mouse brain, uncovering new details about how the organ is wired.

A device implanted into mice can modulate brain circuit activity over long periods of time.

Detailed imaging of the rodent central nervous system reveals new information about the route cerebrospinal fluid takes to leave the brain.

A newly developed imaging technology visualizes entire mouse brains in two and three dimensions using multicolor fluorescence microscopy.
