New methods light up lipid membranes and let researchers see sets of proteins inside cells with high resolution.

New research adds evidence that learning a successful strategy for approaching a task doesn’t prevent further exploration, even if doing so reduces performance.

Tissue processing advance can label proteins at the level of individual cells across large samples just as fast and uniformly as in dissociated single cells.

A new computational model explains how neurons linked to spatial navigation can also help store episodic memories.

Machine-learning models let neuroscientists study the impact of auditory processing on real-world hearing.

Place cells are known to encode individual locations, but research finds stitching together a “cognitive map” of a whole environment requires a broader ensemble of cells, aided by sleep, over several days.

McGovern Institute neuroscientists use children’s interests to probe language in the brain.

At a symposium of the Simons Center for the Social Brain, six speakers described a diversity of recently launched studies aimed at improving understanding of the autistic brain.

Research could help improve motor rehabilitation programs and assistive robot control.

A detailed new look at dopamine signaling suggests neuroscientists’ model of reinforcement learning may need to be revised.
