We developed a new neural probe which can be inserted into the deep vasculature of the brain to achieve high-precision measurement of its activity. This...
The brain's immune system helps us defend ourselves against pathogens and attacks, but what happens when it doesn't or it overreacts? Could it be dangerous?...
The SARS-CoV-2 virus rarely infects olfactory sensory neurons yet causes widespread anosmia. To explain this apparent paradox, we found that odour detection is...
Schizophrenia is widely thought to involve the disruption of both early and late phases of brain development – the so-called ‘two-hit’ hypothesis – but what is...
We all pursue goals. These goals motivate some of our behaviors which allow us to interact with the environment until we satisfy our needs and desires. We...
Alzheimer’s disease leads to progressive dementia, profound disability and impaired quality of life. Globally, there are more than 50 million cases, over two...
In a recent study, we investigated a crucial brain blood flow regulation mechanism in mouse models of heart disease and dementia. We found that there was a...
The neurons of the eye that detect light must be very sensitive. They also need a lot of energy, so they contain many mitochondria - however, mitochondria...
What is going on with SARS-CoV-2 infection and your brain? Even in mild infection there may be neurological injury that affects recovery. In our study, brain...
Behavioral assessments in animal models are crucial to neuroscience research, but manual implementation of these methods can limit throughput. We developed...
Why is holding hands enjoyable but stubbing fingers painful? Our body judges whether a physical force is “dangerous” depending on its intensity to decide if it...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia are devastating neurological diseases. Yet, there is no effective treatment for them. We uncovered a...
