Translating Big Data Models to Stem Suicide

Organizations are seeing positive results from big data-fueled suicide prediction models, but it takes work—and time—to put them into clinical practice.

Inviting Multi-Disciplinary Voices to the Neurotechnology Conversation

Three years after a social issues roundtable about the ethical and societal issues raised by neural-digital interfaces, one research team shares what they’ve learned.

Sleep’s Dark and Silent Gate

Neuroscientists around the globe have new tools to help them study the integral role that sleeps plays in memory. But they agree that there are still many questions to be answered.

Brain Bee Alumni: Where Are They Now?

Since the first Brain Bee in 1998, the competition has grown into an international annual event that engages more than 50,000 students from six continents. It has also inspired many of its top finishers to pursue careers in neuroscience and related fields.

How Does the Brain Learn Language?

We communicate with one another using movements (gestures), sounds (speech), and symbols (writing). Language is intrinsically tied to our emotions, social relationships, and many other aspects of cognition. Much is still mysterious about the process. Here’s what we know so far.

How We Learn

The brain is designed to help us learn and remember even before we leave the womb. But how does it do so? And what are the best ways to learn new material?

Understanding New Brain Research Models

Scientists can now grow living human brain tissue in lab dishes and in animals, creating organoids, neural transplants, and chimeras. While these models will help us better understand the brain in health and disease, they also raise thorny ethical questions that will only get thornier in the future.

Understanding Animal Models

What does experimenting with other animals tell us about people? Find out in our new Brain Basics article.

A Path to Biomarkers

Q&A with Jong Yoon, M.D.

Predicting the path of illness for someone diagnosed with schizophrenia is difficult because its origins are so varied. Dana Grantee Jong Yoon is developing imaging methods to tease out the cellular mechanisms of one potential cause: too much dopamine production.

Understanding Gene/Environment Interactions

While we often talk about our genes as being responsible for individual traits like intelligence and temperament, the environments we live in may have just as much influence on who we are, how we look, and how we behave. Here are the basics.
