Optical reporters of cellular excitability are emerging technologies that could potentially replace electrophysiology. This article discusses the future of the technique in academia and drug discovery environments.

Researchers at the MRC's Laboratory of Molecular Biology have identified a brain microcircuit involving astrocytes which regulates the 24-hour sleep/wake cycle of the bo

Dr. Gregory Payne tells us about the role that oxidative stress measurements could play in disease diagnosis, and how new tools could help analyze chemical information such as this.

Researchers at the MRC Toxicology Unit have uncovered the mechanism by which a novel cold-induced protein is neuroprotective.

We talk to Lindsey Sjaarda, Ph.D, lead author of a secondary study on the EAGeR trial data. She gives us more of an insight into the potential therapeutic benefits of aspirin in helping mothers suffering from chronic inflammation conceive and carry their baby to term.

We take a look at the development of some advanced regenerative medicine treatments that incorporate tissue transplants, drugs, and genetic engineering.

New practical approach facilitates brain mapping from the level of the synapse up. Lead Author Julian Ng, Ph.D, describes the new methods pioneered in his recent paper and the impact it will have on the new field of connectomics.

Bryan Roth's lab at UNC-Chapel Hill have solved the structure of the LSD-bound serotonin receptor. The work took several years to produce but could open up therapeutic approaches in the treatment of stress and headaches.

We compare the pioneering drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal with modern-day images from the same brain areas.
