The Brain's Inner Map Is Shaped Like a Donut
Researchers have gained a first insight into how the brain structures higher-level information. By extracting and analysing data from a neural network of grid cells, they found that the collective neural activity is shaped like the surface of a doughnut.

Can Cochlear Implants Detect Vocal Emotions?
Cochlear implants can help people with hearing loss to perceive acoustic stimuli. Unlike hearing aids, which usually only amplify the volume of sounds, implants directly stimulate the auditory nerve. But can these implants also register “nuances” in communication?

Ubiquitin "Supercharger" Discovery May Lead to Neurological Disease Discovery
Researchers have solved the first 3D structure of an enzyme, called RNF216, that controls proteins to signal and communicate with each other in human cells.

Parts of the Fly Brain Show Resistance to Aging
Biologists at the University of Iowa pinpointed how fruit flies—no matter their age—maintained neural circuits for certain motor functions, while losing their edge in other performance measures.
