After more than 15 years in academia, I recently crossed over to industry and joined Inscopix. Our company has the singular vision to accelerate fundamental discoveries in brain function with the hope that one day, our neuroscience community will find cures to some of the most devastating brain diseases. We don’t make drugs. We make

In the decades following the work by physiologist Ivan Pavlov and his famous salivating dogs, scientists have discovered how molecules and cells in the brain learn to associate two stimuli, like Pavlov’s bell and the resulting food. What they haven’t been able to study is how whole groups of neurons work together to form that
Richard Mooney, the George Barth Geller Professor of Neurobiology at Duke University, and a leader in birdsong neuroscience sat down recently with our very own Vania Cao for an interview while he was attending our DECODE Summit as a DECODE awardee. You can read the full interview below, or watch a video snippet. VC: How

Fundamental aspects of learning and memory are well conserved among species and are necessary for survival. The hippocampus and amygdala are key regions of the brain underlying learning and memory processes. While the hippocampus is crucial for memory formation, the amygdala is involved in emotional processing and assigns valence to salient stimuli. Importantly, these two

Check out this great blog post by Dr. Francis Collins highlighting Caitlin Vander Weele’s research in Kay M. Tye’s MIT lab using our miniature microscope to show how neuronal activity in the medial prefrontal cortex changes as a function of behavior in real-time! Caitlin was recently a winner in the Federation of American Societies for
