Potassium ion channels are responsible for the rapid, selective flow of potassium (K+) ions through cell membranes, making it possible for spikes of electric activity (action potentials) to…
Giving zebrafish ketamine can stop them from “giving up” during tasks where trying to swim is futile. A new study led by researchers from the Engert Lab and…
The animal body is bilaterally symmetric, and most sense organs (eyes, ears and nose) occur in pairs. These paired sensory organs provide independent measurements of the environment in…
In a new study published in Science Translational Medicine (PDF), the Hensch Lab shares evidence that erratic maternal caregiving during a critical period leads to attention deficits in…
Work spearheaded by post-doctoral fellow Tadasu Nozaki, in the Kleckner laboratory, and recently published in Nature (PDF), uses a powerful new approach to examine pairing of homologous chromosomes…
Imagine a fish with legs, not just fins. A creature that strolls along the ocean floor, hunting for prey with an almost eerie precision. This is the remarkable…
OEB graduate student Julius Tabin is a member of the Elya Lab. There he is investigating fungus-infected “zombie” flies and searching for the molecule or molecules that cause…
A team of researchers from the Lichtman Lab, led by Program in Neuroscience (PiN) graduate student turned joint postdoc in the Lichtman and Dulac Labs Xiaomeng Han, has…
There is a class of AI called reinforcement learning (RL), which works by taking actions in an environment and then learning from the outcome. RL agents have become…
Researchers from the Murray Lab, led by Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS) graduate student Piyush Nanda, have recently published a paper in the journal Current Biology on a…
