Vosshall is recognized for her pioneering studies of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which transmits pathogens causing human diseases including dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever.
With a new microscope that’s as light as a penny, researchers can now observe broad swaths of the brain in action as mice move about and interact with their environments.
The researcher is being honored for his discovery of a specialized system in the brain’s neocortex that is responsible for recognizing faces.
“Practice makes perfect” is no mere cliché. It’s neuroscience.
New understanding of how the virus replicates could lead to new therapeutic targets for HBV.
Bargmann is recognized for her role in linking genetics with behavior.
The findings in mice may explain how addictive drugs hijack natural reward processing systems, creating the urge to use while throwing natural urges to eat and drink off-kilter.
The university celebrated staff and faculty who retired or reached notable work anniversaries in 2023.
The findings may also have implications for learning and memory disorders, including Fragile X syndrome.
The new platform’s ethically grounded approach promises to reveal much about how human embryos form during the earliest stages of pregnancy.
SNFiRU, which aims to better understand the agents that cause infectious disease and to lower barriers to treatment and prevention globally, launched numerous initiatives in its inaugural year.
Retinoic acid, the active state of Vitamin A, appears to regulate how stem cells enter and exit a transient state central to their role in wound repair.
In examining the mating rituals of roundworms, researchers uncovered a unique approach to reproduction that maximizes genetic fitness.
A powerful tool captures data from an unprecedented 1 million neurons simultaneously, painting a much fuller picture of brain dynamics.
From plumbing the depths of wound repair to tackling how songbirds solve problems, here are some fascinating discoveries that came out of Rockefeller in 2023.
The better a songbird is at working its way around obstacles to retrieve a snack, the more complex its vocal learning ability will be.
As with many cutting-edge therapies, we know more about the drug’s effectiveness than we do about how it actually operates. A new study reveals a possible mechanism for its impact on patients.
One clever way to observe the neural activity of Drosophilae: build them a custom fly treadmill and tempt them with the tangy perfume of apple cider vinegar.
In skin, some aberrant adult epidermal stem cells turn on SOX9, kickstarting a process that ultimately activates cancer genes.
