The BrainGate brain-machine interface is able to transmit signals from a single neuron resolution with full broadband fidelity without physically tethering the user to a decoding system. Read More
NAA, a compound in the brain, plays a key role in emotional agency and flexibility in healthy people. Read More
During non-REM sleep, visual areas of the brain exhibit an excitation/inhibition balance indicative of increased plasticity. REM sleep appears to be essential for people to reap the benefits of the increased plasticity that occurs during NREM sleep. Read More

Peer pressure can shift an individual's punitive preference across a variety of contexts. Groups induce conformity by forcing less caution and more impulsivity in individuals, and by amplifying the value of punishment. Read More
A distinct fast-spiking interneuron subtype mediates perceptually relevant brain oscillations, independently of local field potential and sensory drive. Read More
Unexpected rewards boost memories of specific events. The findings may have implications for treating memory problems associated with depression. Read More
Researchers report a drug commonly used to help treat HIV can significantly reduce age related inflammation in mice. The study suggests the drug could hold promise for treating age related disorders including Alzheimer's disease, type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's disease. Read More
A new study reveals the gut microbiome regulates the immune system. Vitamin A is key to allowing the symbiotic relationship, researchers report. Read More
Female mice who experienced early life stress developed problems and had fewer neurons in areas of the brain responsible for regulating emotions and making sense of rules, researchers report. Read More
