The slice of code — a stretch of DNA that acts like a dial to turn up the expression of certain genes — expanded the outer ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that mice use chemical cues, including odors, to detect the social rank ...

A new study shows that inserting human DNA into mice grow bigger brains, offering clues to human brain evolution.

Researchers have shown in mice that brain cells known as astrocytes are required for a signaling chemical called norepinephrine to modify brain activity, changing the textbook understanding that ...

Scientists have found a way to map the intricate patterns of cells in mouse brain tissue with an off-the-shelf light ...

A research team has unveiled the cause and molecular mechanism of chronic brain inflammation that results in repetitive ...

Researchers have shown that mice use chemical cues, including odors, to detect the social rank of an unfamiliar mouse and compare it to their own, using this information to determine their behavior.

This new drug, JRT, is a “constitutional isomer” of LSD — meaning it has the same atoms, just arranged differently. It binds ...

When mice encounter an unfamiliar food, neurons in a brain region called the amygdala light up (blue). If the mice start feeling sick after the meal, the same neurons get reinforced to help the mouse ...

A small segment of human DNA boosts brain size and complexity, revealing both the origins of intelligence and its ...
