What makes sleep restorative? A new @NatureNeuro study suggests that the ON and OFF firing patterns underlying slow waves may themselves drive some of sleep’s key benefits – even while mice are awake. By Alissa de Chassey thetransmitter.org/sleep/making-w…

Brains sourced from a zoo, a brain bank and research labs tell the evolutionary story of a cell central to coordinating movements, social cognition, emotion and language in humans. By @SiddhantPus thetransmitter.org/cerebellum/pur…

In this episode of "Brain Inspired," @KathrynNave argues that the free energy principle falls short as a unifying framework for living systems and cognition. thetransmitter.org/brain-inspired…

In the latest entry of Frameshift, our series about alternative careers in neuroscience, Soha Ashrafi, executive director of research at Harvard Medical School, shares how supporting a department full of neuroscientists brings her “scientific joy.” thetransmitter.org/frameshift/mak…

This month’s early-career newsletter features the launch of Neuro Funding Finder, our new tool to help neuroscientists find funding opportunities. Plus check out a Q&A with Soha Ashrafi on how she became a research director and new job opportunities. #launch?utm_source=x&utm_medium=org-social&utm_campaign=20260715-launch-nl#launch" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetransmitter.org/newsletters-al…

In this month’s “Liftoff,” @T_Guillamon shares how she learned to appreciate the importance of the little things for a functioning lab, and Rose Hill discusses how her lab members embraced their “inner naturalist” on a hiking trip. By @FrankieRivera25 thetransmitter.org/liftoff-new-la…

We can try to predict the potential trajectory of mass-produced science by looking at a previous time artisanal work was replaced by mass production: the Industrial Revolution in fabric manufacturing, writes @kennethd_harris. thetransmitter.org/artificial-int…

A 1992 paper showed how birdsong upregulates expression of an immediate early gene in bird forebrains. In “This paper changed my life,” Sidarta Ribeiro discusses the importance of studying molecular responses in naturalistic contexts. thetransmitter.org/this-paper-cha…

Lucid dreaming offers a rare opportunity to observe and probe perception from within, when the brain is generating vivid experience largely without the usual constraints of sensory input, writes @m_paluchowska. thetransmitter.org/perception/wat…

When another mouse goes from friend to foe, connections from the hippocampus to the amygdala strengthen. By @natmesanash thetransmitter.org/social-behavio…

A study from Rockefeller's Winrich Freiwald adds support to the long-standing idea that the brain accomplishes novel problems by piecing together bits of existing knowledge—a process called compositional generalization. @_TheTransmitter explains: thetransmitter.org/cognitive-neur…

Researchers turned a friendly mouse into a bully to study how the brain updates an animal’s emotions about a social interaction. By @natmesanash thetransmitter.org/social-behavio…

What leads an autism researcher to publish a paper accusing the NIH of discrimination? “When autistic kids grow up” explores how Tempest McDonald stumbled onto a problem with autism funding that has been hiding in plain sight. Listen now: thetransmitter.org/podcasts/?utm_…

At #FENS2026 and interested in learning more about @_TheTransmitter? I'll be at the FENS booth this afternoon from 2:30-3:15pm-come say hi!

AI may soon enable researchers to generate high-quality science at a previously unimaginable speed. The effects for researchers will be as disruptive as industrial mass production was for artisan manufacturers, writes @kennethd_harris. thetransmitter.org/artificial-int…
