 E-Mail Researchers from MBARI, the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa (UH Mānoa), and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, after years of development and testing, have successfully demonstrated that a fleet of autonomous robots can track and study a moving microbial community in an open-ocean eddy. The results of this research effort were recently published in Science Robotics. Autonomous robotic fleets enable researchers to observe complex systems in ways that are otherwise impossible with purely ship-based or remote sensing techniques. In a time when the COVID-19 pandemic is reducing oppo...

Love and Hate in the Mouse Brain December 24, 2020Caltech Mounting behavior, that awkward thrusting motion dogs sometimes do against your leg, is usually associated with sexual arousal in animals, but this is not always the case. New research by Caltech neuroscientists that explores the motivations behind mounting behavior in mice finds that sometimes there is a thin line between love and hate (or anger) in the mouse brain. The research, which appears in the journal  Nature, was conducted in the lab of David Anderson, the Seymour Benzer Professor of Biology, Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Instit...

The Good Kind of Brainwashing Scientists are exploring why the glymphatic system, which helps clear waste from the brain, declines with age — and whether slowing that decline can improve aging. Share This December 10, 2020 About seven years ago, Maiken Nedergaard, a neuroscientist at New York State’s University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), and colleagues noticed a striking change in the mice they were studying. The researchers were using a microscope to spy on the animals’ brains and track the movement of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that surrounds and cushions that organ. When...
