Lauren Orefice has won the 2019 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology for her work on the causes and potential therapies for autism spectrum disorders.

Researchers have discovered a protein that can protect against brain damage after a hemorrhage.

Researchers have suggested that the amount of time spent on social media is not directly responsible for increasing anxiety or depression.

In this article we explore how emerging neurotechnologies are taking us from movement-controlled to mind-controlled machines and from machine extensions of ourselves to machines integrated into ourselves.

Research presented at Neuroscience 2019, the flagship conference of the Society for Neuroscience, has highlighted research at the intersection of three fascinating areas: neurodevelopment, the immune system and the gut microbiota.

At the British Neuroscience Association's Festival of Neuroscience, we were lucky enough to sit down with some influential neuroscientists to discuss their work. In our last interview of the series, we talk to Professor Ed Bullmore on the evidence that connects inflammation and depression, and the possibility that the immune system could be targeted as part of future antidepressant treatments.

Reproducibility is now recognized as a core feature of good scientific practice but too many papers fail to meet the grade. We talked to Leslie D McIntosh, CEO of Ripeta, on the topic of reproducibility. In this interview, we ask Leslie about the concepts within Ripeta’s recent report on the state of reproducible science in 2019.

People often talk about their “gut instincts” or how they just “felt it in my guts”. Are these just figures of speech? It turns out that the gut – the digestive system – has its own nervous system that is often referred to as our “second brain”. This article investigates how our "two brains" communicate, and how breakdowns in that communication can lead to diseases like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Impostor syndrome is experienced by millions of people around the world cross culturally, and describes difficulty internalizing one's accomplishments or abilities, and instead attributing their success to other factors. In this article, we explore the prevalence of impostor syndrome in STEM and the impact it has on the scientific community.
