As the history of this nascent discipline reveals, neuroscience has inspired advances in artificial intelligence, and AI has provided a testing ground for models in neuroscience, accelerating progress in both fields.
Leveraging start-up “dummy scans,” which are typically discarded in imaging analyses, can shorten an experiment’s length and make data collection more efficient, a new study reveals.
New results suggest the disease progresses differently in women, but we need more basic science to unpack the mechanisms involved.
Fiser’s work taught me how to think about grounding computational models in biologically plausible implementations.
The NIH-sponsored effort aims to help incentivize scientists to share data. But many barriers to the widespread adoption of useful data-sharing remain.
Science is built on trust. What happens when someone destroys it?
A detailed look at a “pregnant brain” highlights a need to investigate the neural alterations that occur during a transition experienced by nearly 140 million people worldwide each year.
The field is grappling with whether to modify the long-standing theory of reward prediction error—or abandon it entirely.
The current Autism CARES Act sunsets in late September.
Nicole Rust describes her career-changing literary journey of joy, free will and the evolution of a field.
Few institutions have mechanisms for the type of long-term positions that would best benefit the science.
This statistical error is common in systems neuroscience. Fortunately, straightforward methods can help you prevent it.
Brains made of neurons from two species raise new concerns.
The insect-cognition researcher has done his work across continents, but Argentina is never far from his mind.
An omitted citation in a high-profile paper led us to examine our own practices and to help others adopt tools that promote citation diversity.
As the U.S. Congress begins to discuss federal science funding for 2025, any plans to compensate for this year’s cuts to the neuroscience program face an uphill battle.
The French researcher’s accomplishments working with chinstrap penguins in the Antarctic highlight the importance of recording sleep in the wild.
This mashup of neuroscience, artificial intelligence and even linguistics and philosophy of mind aims to crack the deep question of what “understanding” is, however un-brain-like its models may be.
New research is resurfacing old ideas about where the protein forms the disease’s hallmark plaques.
Old heuristics to acknowledge contributors—calling out first and last authors, with everyone else in between—don’t work well for large collaborative and interdisciplinary projects, yet they remain the default.
