A population of neurons that engages mechanisms of the innate immune system during memory formation has been uncovered in mice. Surprisingly, inflammatory signalling might pave the way for long-term memory.

Words and images experienced by an infant wearing sensors during their daily life have led to efficient machine learning, pointing to the power of multimodal training signals and to the potentially exploitable statistics of real-life experience.

Using a longitudinal structural imaging design, the authors assessed cortical anatomy and genes linked to methylphenidate activity to identify treatment-associated responses in adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Zhao, Liu et al. investigate the relationship between cognitive decline, chronic musculoskeletal pain and brain structure using an algorithm that can detect deviations from normative brain aging.

The Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain (MIDB) Precision Brain Atlas is a resource of personalized brain network topographies (n = 9,900). It also provides a probabilistic atlas and integration zones across diverse magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) datasets and ages. The atlas increases the reliability of brain-wide association studies (BWAS) and improves targeting for neuromodulation.

Discovery in sharks suggests that these sensory receptors date back to some 450 million years ago.

The DIANA technique sparked excitement from neuroscientists. But two new papers have cast doubt over the results.

Breathable patch could allow for comfortable and multifunctional wearable electronics.

We launched the ENIGMA-Neuroendocrinology working group with the aim to address knowledge gaps about the role of sex hormones in the brain, which lead to prevalent sex- and gender-based health disparities in biomedical research. We approach this by adopting a lifespan perspective to explore the interplay of hormonal dynamics and mental health in the brain.
