#Depression Testing : How to induce depressive-like #phenotype in rodents. #infographic #neuroscience #mazeengineers #behavior #science

Following our post this morning, learn about the history of mazes in scientific research with our article: buff.ly/35IIE6r #science #conductscience #maze #neuroscience

Scientists have created a carbon-based neuromorphic computing device which can "remember information" to solve spatial navigation problems. See the paper here: buff.ly/3Ho5jTi Image: Sean Gladwell/Getty Images #science #conductscience #neurology #maze

Carbon signatures on Mars? Carbon 12 has been detected from drill powder collected by the curiosity rover. It's too early to make any conclusions for now but fascinating none-the-less. Watch this space. buff.ly/3rlhMAw Source: NASA/Caltech-JPL/MSSS.
