The feedback could lead to "novel ways" to conduct studies and reduce health disparities, a National Institutes of Health employee says.

Sympathetic neurons pepper the embryos of the jawless fish-Earth's first vertebrates-and overturn the idea that "fight or flight" was an innovation of jawed vertebrates.

The facility's institutional review board failed to report a 2021 incident and "serious and ongoing noncompliance" by a principal investigator, according to a letter released by the federal agency this week.

We found an issue with a specific type of brain imaging study and tried to share it with the field. Then the backlash began.

Technological advancements have made it possible to study animals in more natural settings, but researchers are debating what that really means and whether natural is always better.

The U.S. National Institutes of Health wants to regulate research involving cephalopods. But there aren't enough rigorous studies to base the regulations on, veteran cephalopod researchers say.

The retraction follows an editorial expression of concern that the journal applied to the paper in October, seven months after it was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Activity in the tiny brain region helps submissive rodents learn to avoid aggressors, and aggressive mice to curb their attacks, according to two recent studies.

The cerebellum swelled in size before flight evolved among modern birds' dinosaur ancestors, according to a new comparison of fossilized skulls and living birds.

New technology that delivers much more than a simple DNA sequence could have a major impact on brain research, enabling researchers to study transcript diversity, imprinting and more.
