A new study shows that bacterial cell wall molecules, specifically peptidoglycan, are present in the brain and fluctuate with sleep cycles.

New study sheds light on one of genetics' most persistent mysteries: how the workings of the so-called “selfish gene’ could ...

Ants rely on pheromones to coordinate their societies, but how do their neurons avoid sensory confusion? Researchers studying ...

Tick-borne encephalitis virus can infect the nervous system and cause life-threatening illness. Finding the cellular gateway ...

In a fruit fly, nerve cells that detect limb movement are silenced when the insect walks or grooms. This on-off switch may help the nervous system to shift between two states: one helps keep the body ...

This work, combining behavioural genetics and calcium imaging, provides evidence for a form of learning in Drosophila that derives solely from direct or (optogenetically induced) phantom experience of ...
