Jellyfish, lacking a central brain, exhibit remarkable coordination through decentralized nerve nets and specialized sensory structures called rhopalia. These ancient creatures effectively swim, hunt, ...

From summer evenings to global disease prevention, mosquito repellents are a daily defense for billions of people, yet until ...

BrainAlignNet, AutoCellLabeler, and CellDiscoveryNet—to automatically track and identify neurons in moving worms and jellyfish.

Understanding the connection between behavior and brain cell activity is a major goal of neuroscience. To make progress, neuroscientists often choose simple, transparent lab animals because it's ...

Male caregiving is rare. Of the nearly 6,000 mammalian species, fewer than 5% of fathers stick around to raise their own ...

New findings that snakes thrive without the hunger hormone ghrelin suggest future obesity drugs could safely mute hunger at ...

An international team led by Jaime de Juan-Sanz at the Paris Brain Institute has shown that slightly increasing the metabolic capacity of neurons can enhance long-term memory in both fruit flies and ...

Researchers find that tirzepatide (Mounjaro) reduces alcohol consumption by 50% and prevents relapse by blunting the brain's reward system.

Male caregiving is rare. Of the nearly 6,000 mammalian species, fewer than 5% of fathers stick around to raise their own young. Most ...

A growing body of neuroscience research is converging on a counterintuitive idea: the disorderly brain activity triggered by LSD might actually work against the hyper-synchronized neural firing that ...

Imagine balancing a ruler vertically in the palm of your hand: you have to constantly pay attention to the angle of the ruler and make many small adjustments to make sure it doesn't fall over. It ...
