The Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (i.e., “FENS”) Forum is a 5-day, biennial meeting boasting a full schedule of brainy presentations, exhibits, and social events. This year FENS was

There’s been a predominant view in neuroscience that behaviors like aggression in mice are hard-wired in the brain, especially in deep brain structures such as the hypothalamus. Through the use of Inscopix technology, Dr. David Anderson’s group at Caltech has been able to present evidence that development of aggressive or mating behavior, and the neural

June was a hot month for neural circuit research papers! Check out our list of the neural circuit research studies from last month that really impact our understanding of how neural circuits develop and function in vivo. We gain novel insights into the neural circuits relevant to stress and fear, memory, reward coding, and more.
