Cooperating marmosets extend decision-making model of the brain
24/06/2026 | 5 mins.
When a pair of marmosets works together to earn some marshmallow fluff, one of them decides to act only after its brain accumulates enough evidence about what the other is doing, new work shows.
Transforming AI models into useful model organisms
22/06/2026 | 6 mins.
These systems were not built to explain the brain. But treating them as model organisms that we can perturb and evolve will move us closer to that goal.
Exclusive: Janelia sunsets rodent work, launches transparent fish project
22/06/2026 | 6 mins.
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Research Campus is banking on whole-brain imaging in the Danionella fish to advance neuroscience, but some scientists forced to close their labs say that even with a three-year runway and transitional support, they feel betrayed by the pivot.
Cousin comparison parses genetic effects in autism
18/06/2026 | 4 mins.
The approach helps reveal whether maternal genes contribute directly to autism in children or have indirect effects on the prenatal environment.
This paper changed my life: Learning the molecular rules of cell identity
17/06/2026 | 6 mins.
A 1987 Cell paper showed that a single transcription factor could turn fibroblasts into muscle cells. The work inspired Ardem Patapoutian to think about the molecular codes that define neuronal subtypes.
