    Nature retracts paper on novel brain cell type against authors' wishes

    A 2022 paper was retracted after an independent team of researchers reanalyzed the data and questioned its validity.

    Drosophila, like vertebrates, filter sensory information during sleep

    Predictive sensory processing in sleeping Drosophila echoes vertebrate research, establishing an evolutionarily conserved neural signature of sleep.

    Neuroscience's open-data revolution is just getting started

    Data reuse represents an opportunity to accelerate the pace of science, reduce costs and increase the value of our collective research investments. New tools that make open data easier to use—and new pressures, including funding cuts—may increase uptake.

    Machine learning spots neural progenitors in adult human brains

    But the finding has not settled the long-standing debate over the existence and extent of neurogenesis during adulthood, says Yale University neuroscientist Juan Arellano.

    Astrocytes sense neuromodulators to orchestrate neuronal activity and shape behavior

    Astrocytes serve as crucial mediators of neuromodulatory processes previously attributed to direct communication between neurons, four new studies show.

    Spatial learning circuitry fluctuates in step with estrous cycle in mice

    Cyclic shifts in estradiol levels coincide with changes in dendritic spine density and the activity of place cells in the CA1 region of the hippocampus, a new study shows.

    Expanded view of hippocampal function comes into focus

    After decades of debate, the region’s role is being rewritten. Rather than using sensory input to simply log key points in time and space, the hippocampus may serve to contextualize our experiences and memories—and ultimately make predictions about the future.

    Many students want to learn to use artificial intelligence responsibly. But their professors are struggling to meet that need.

    Effectively teaching students how to employ AI in their writing assignments requires clear guidelines—and detailed, case-specific examples.
