Research finds that as one looks around, mental images bounce between right and left brain as they shift around in our visual system.

Findings suggest this hippocampal circuit helps us to maintain our timeline of memories.

Unbiased, high-throughput analysis pipeline improves utility of “minibrains” for understanding development and diseases such as Zika infection.

Norepinephrine-producing neurons in the locus coeruleus produce attention focus, impulse control via two distinct connections to prefrontal cortex.

Modifications to chromosomes in “engram” neurons control the encoding and retrieval of memories.

Scientists distinguish brain regions based on what they do, but now have a new way to overlay information about how they are built.

Study also finds specific frequency bands of brain waves associated with encoding, or inhibiting encoding, of sensory information across the cortex.

New statistical model may help scientists understand how animals infer whether surroundings are novel or haven’t changed enough to be a new context.
