Currently, the causes for Alzheimer Disease (AD) are thought to lie in the formation of abnormal protein deposits including tau tangles and Amyloid ß (Aβ) plaques in the human cortex. These proteins ...

Successful navigation of the social environment depends on the ability to rapidly evaluate conspecifics and adjust behaviour accordingly. Encounters with unfamiliar individuals are particularly ...

We have partnered on a number of projects exploring the discoverability and navigation of research by machines and humans alike, laying the groundwork for a new era of AI-driven research communication ...

This important study provides new insight into how frontostriatal circuits encode elapsed time and exhibit decision-related dynamics during an auditory change-detection task. Analyses of ...

Bordetella pertussis hijacks the host innate immune protein PGLYRP1 via tracheal cytotoxin to suppress inflammation and evade killing, revealing a novel immune evasion strategy.

This important study investigates whether perceived gender is represented in the brain in a category-invariant manner across faces, bodies, and objects, identifying the right middle temporal gyrus ...

EEG neurofeedback as a method to modulate brain activity prior to painful stimulation and examined its effect on pain perception in a well-powered, double-blind study. Results showed that real, but ...

This important study reports a novel phenomenon of maternal growth during pregnancy that is independent of growth hormone (GH), adding a new dimension to maternal biology of reproduction. The evidence ...

An imaging approach called SANDI helps characterise the microstructural abnormalities that occur in the brain in Huntington’s disease, and could have clinical applications following further studies.

This valuable paper reports on a measure of flexible brain state engagement, derived from fMRI, as a predictor of cognitive control. One strength of the study is the use of external datasets for ...

This valuable study describes a simple and robust approach for estimating information-limiting noise by splitting neural populations and comparing estimator values. The authors report more accurate ...
