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.

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

Green staining indicates myelination in these mouse brain cross sections. The brain that received 40Hz light and sound stimulation (right) shows significantly more myelin in four brain regions (insets ...

New research from the University of Copenhagen, INSERM and Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research shows that the brain in mice works in separate channels at the same time, when they ...

Neuroscientists have discovered how the brain distinguishes between visual motion occurring in the external world from that caused by the observer moving through it. Known as the 'motion-source ...

Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists might soon be able to perform experiments on a realistic simulation of the mouse brain. In a new study, Stanford Medicine ...

The brain is constantly bombarded with information, and focus depends on its ability to filter out distractions and detect what matters. Attention disorders such as attention-deficit hyperactivity ...

Bilal Haider receives funding from NIH and the Simons Foundation. Despite the nursery rhyme about three blind mice, mouse eyesight is surprisingly sensitive. Studying how mice see has helped ...
