Vestibular sensation anchors our perception of the environment and is crucial for maintaining balance during locomotion. Vertebrate animals use the evolutionarily conserved vestibular system...
The Brain Behavior Quantification and Synchronization (BBQS) program is a basic research effort in the NIH BRAIN Initiative to develop new tools and approaches in support of a more comprehen...
We are developing the three-banded panther worm Hofstenia miamia as a new model system for neuroscience. Hofstenia is a rare, lab-tractable member of a lineage of early-branching marine inve...
A central goal for neuroscience is to understand how our brains process information in real life, such as faces during natural social interactions. While we have gained important knowledge u...
The ability to record every spike from every neuron in a behaving animal is one of the holy grails of neuroscience. Here, Alison Hanson discusses a collaborative effort aimed at coming one s...
Behaving animals continually reconcile the internal states of their neural circuits brain-wide with incoming sensory and environmental evidence to evaluate when and how to act. The brains of...
To make movement and foraging decisions in a naturalistic environment, multiple neural populations must work synergistically to produce successful actions. These decisions span multiple scal...
Virginia will discuss work on single-trial analysis of EEG signals during episodic memory tasks. They develop single-trial classifiers to predict whether people will remember pictures from E...
Individuals with substance use disorders often show impaired sensitivity to reward value. However, it is not clear whether such impairment impacts reward-related decision making and whether...
Studying motor behaviors can reveal fundamental principles of the brain and mind. This presentation focuses on our work towards developing the hardware and computational tools that will allo...
Many behaviors are learned through trial and error by matching performance to internal goals, yet neural mechanisms of performance evaluation remain poorly understood. We recorded basal gang...
Speech neuroprostheses have the potential to restore communication to people living with paralysis, but naturalistic speed and expressivity are elusive. Here we use high-density surface reco...
Mental health is a multidimensional challenge, marked by rapid brain changes and essential interpersonal relationships. This complicates the application of traditional statistical methods an...
The ultimate goal of neuroscience is to understand and explain real-world behavior in terms of brain activity, and to use these insights to develop therapeutic approaches for neural disorder...
Robots are useful tools for studying the nervous system and its control of body mechanics because they can be used to perform experiments that would be difficult to perform with an animal. F...
Social interactions are essential for the survival of social animals. Across species the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has been identified as a hub of social cognition. In mouse models we...
Infant motor development is measured clinically using short, subjective, observational scales. While these scales are useful, they have limitations. They provide us with a “snapshot&rd...
Drug discovery programs require a robust panel of models and assays to identify and validate drug targets, support compound optimisation, and run mechanistic studies. Fully human in vitro mo...
Thomas Scientific's Cannabis Specialists demonstrates how to leverage vendor consolidation ultimately saving you time & money in today's supply chain challenged climate....
In recent years, small volume biopsies have been increasingly utilized for diagnosis of tumors in both primary and recurrent settings. Concomitantly, the numbers of ancillary studies for cha...
Microscopy involves the study of organisms too small to see with the naked eye, magnifying the small worlds within our own so we can study and understand these samples. Organs, tissues and c...
Dr. Christopher E. Mason Professor of Genomics, Physiology, and Biophysics at Weill Cornell Medicine and the Director of the WorldQuant Initiative for Quantitative Prediction Digital PCR for...

De novo gene synthesis and protein expression are established technologies that can give access to nearly any target DNA or protein sequence, allowing for engineering of biologics. In this p...
How can labs increase their sample throughput and pipetting accuracy and reproducibility without investing in an expensive automated liquid handler? Electronic pipettes are a cost-effective...
mRNA‑based products are rapidly growing in the biotherapeutics space. Important considerations need to be made to develop a process for mRNA synthesis that consistently generates high‑yield...
