On this episode of Brain Inspired, Andrea Hiott explains her navigational approach to the mind, and why now is the time to embrace seemingly paradoxical findings in neuroscience. thetransmitter.org/brain-ins…

Almost 15 years after their debut, organoids have become a main player for studying human brain development. But their immaturity and lack of vasculature limits their ability to replace animal-based methods more broadly. By @claulopezneuro thetransmitter.org/what-if-n…

“When autistic kids grow up” has won Silver and has been named the Listener’s Choice in the Health and Wellness category of the @signalawards! Listen now to all episodes of the limited series: thetransmitter.org/when-auti…

In her new book, Susana Carmona writes about her life’s work studying pregnant women’s brains. She discusses the book and some questions the field still needs to address in a Q&A with associate editor @FrankieRivera25. thetransmitter.org/pregnancy…

Neurons in models are often all the same—some researchers are trying to change that. By @natmesanash thetransmitter.org/systems-n…

Many complex behaviors have stubbornly resisted mechanistic explanations. Deciphering them will require new approaches—and perhaps a new concept of “understanding,” writes @BenceOlveczky. thetransmitter.org/methods/w…

We rounded out our university tour of Atlanta with a final stop at @EmoryUniversity! Thank you so much to @muruganmalu and her entire lab for hosting us as we shared our resources with the neuro community.

Journals have retracted four neural tube studies from researchers at The University of Maryland following an internal investigation that identified image duplications and other data integrity issues. By @claulopezneuro thetransmitter.org/academia/…

A highly cited paper linking maternal gut bacteria and autism-like traits in mice received an editorial expression of concern from @Nature last week over duplicated data. By Madeline Shaw thetransmitter.org/publishin…

Without nonhuman primates, the neuroscience field could miss out on insights into vision, motor control, cognition and development, according to our interviews with 17 neuroscientists. By Alissa de Chassey bit.ly/4irw519

New neurodata laws will shape how researchers gather, share and reuse brain data. In his essay, José M. Muñoz argues that use-based governance protects basic researchers and those whose data are being used, without freezing science. thetransmitter.org/ethics/go…

In this month’s “Liftoff,” Arjen Boender talks about how enthusiasm is contagious and helps facilitate everything in a new lab. Zoé Christenson Wick reflects on the importance of staying true to yourself as a new PI. By @FrankieRivera25 thetransmitter.org/liftoff-n…

We neuroscientists ought to celebrate the discovery of the neural code like our biologist friends do for the genetic code … and yet we take it for granted, as if it was always known, writes @MatteoCarandini. thetransmitter.org/history-o…

Thank you, @FordhamNYC and @KundakovicLab for hosting us. We had a great time meeting with students and talking about @_TheTransmitter’s resources and tools.

These two groups study the same behavioral phenomena yet rarely interact or read each other's work—a mutual blind spot that weakens both fields, writes Sjoerd Murris. New technologies offer a chance to bring them together. thetransmitter.org/nonhuman-…

The U.S. primate centers were meant to last 100 years. Four decades shy of that mark, amid flatlined funds and mounting political pressure, their directors are trying to find a path forward. By @callimcflurry thetransmitter.org/what-if-n…

A 1985 study showed that monkeys could focus their attention on different stimuli without shifting their gaze. In “This paper changed my life, @MillerLabMIT describes how the work marked a key milestone in the emergence of cognitive neuroscience. thetransmitter.org/this-pape…
