In this interview conducted at the Society for Neuroscience's Neuroscience 2023, we explore the fascinating world of neuroscience with Professor Michael Stryker, a leading expert with over four decades of groundbreaking research.

The idea of treating neurological disorders by marshaling vast unused neural reserves is more wishful thinking than reality.

An average adult human brain consumes about 20 watts of power, or less than half the consumption of a light bulb. It's also truly intelligent.

It all started with a cat and a baby. In 1959, neurophysiologists David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel conducted an experiment on an anesthetized cat to better…

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2008 was awarded jointly to Osamu Shimomura, Martin Chalfie and Roger Y. Tsien "for the discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein, GFP"

 

A new mouse study provides clues as to how the brain processes sensory information from internal organs, revealing feedback from organs activates different clusters of neurons in the brain stem.

Researchers have used high-resolution imaging to reveal spatial maps of how neurons in the brain stem respond to feedback from internal organs.
