A set of 12 papers published in Nature journals offers new atlases of brain development and hints at the varied evolutionary origins of different cell types. By @holly_barker92 thetransmitter.org/spectrum/const…


U.S. Public Research Benefits is a searchable repository that showcases the value of basic science in an easy and accessible format. Adam Charles shares how he and his colleagues developed the resource. thetransmitter.org/science-and-so…


Congratulations to Sheena Josselyn @sjo09, contributing editor at @_TheTransmitter, on winning the 2025 Peter Seeburg Integrative Neuroscience Prize in recognition of her profound impact on memory research.


Researchers are using LLMs to analyze the literature, brainstorm hypotheses, build models and interact with complex datasets. Hear from Martin Schrimpf @martin_schrimpf, Kim Stachenfeld @neuro_kim, Jeremy Magland, Bradley Love and others. thetransmitter.org/machine-learni…


Many of our big insights into brain function come from trying to mimic it, writes Timothy O’Leary. This lesson should guide how we organize research programs. thetransmitter.org/systems-neuros…


Dutch lawmakers have approved the phase-out of primate research at one of Europe’s biggest facilities. Neuroscientists are worried. By Lauren Schenkman thetransmitter.org/animal-models/…


Hundreds of animal studies about early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage show signs of image manipulation or duplication, which may have stalled research into treatments. By @laur_insider thetransmitter.org/publishing/ima…


Over-active excitatory neurons in the cortex in infant mice lead to social deficits, according to a new preprint that study researchers claim can sway the debate over how signaling imbalances contribute to autism. By @DeWeerdt_Sarah thetransmitter.org/spectrum/rampi…


Psychedelics disrupt the link between vascular and neuronal activity, which complicates interpretations of fMRI data. Adopting a more holistic view of what constitutes brain activity may help. By @callimcflurry thetransmitter.org/psychedelics/p…


In our latest edition of “This paper changed my life,” Sandra Jurado explains how a 2006 Cell paper taught her that synaptic vesicles aren’t passive containers for neurotransmitters but dynamic, precision-built nanomachines. thetransmitter.org/this-paper-cha…


Cracking the worm would provide a test bed for how molecular recipes generate neural physiology. And it would allow us to understand how neurons work together to yield emergent brain functions, write @eboyden3 and @koerding. thetransmitter.org/computational-…


The first Pan-African neuroscience journal, the African Brain Journal, prepares to launch. By Lauren Schenkman thetransmitter.org/publishing/fir…


Bifurcations—an underexplored concept in neuroscience—can help explain how small differences in neural circuits give rise to entirely novel functions, writes Xiao-Jing Wang. thetransmitter.org/neural-dynamic…


Edward Kravitz, a Harvard biochemist who proved GABA's inhibitory power, passed away last month. He will "be remembered for his humanity, for his social conscience and desire to help those less fortunate,” says Ronald Harris-Warrick. By @claulopezneuro bit.ly/3L7EkSQ


Why do human synapses take so much longer to form than those in other mammals? Chimeric mice transplanted with human neurons are beginning to provide some answers. By @holly_barker92 thetransmitter.org/spectrum/prote…


In the amygdala, noradrenergic signaling in astrocytes could prime their response to nearby neurons that helps stabilize fear memories. By @laur_insider thetransmitter.org/memory/engrams…
