Structural Directional Brain Behavior Asymmetry Across Cortical and Non-Cortical Regions
A substantial body of research suggests that the left and right cerebral hemispheres play differential roles in shaping human behavior. However, due to methodological considerations, most studies in this field have relied primarily on psychological methods. Here, we present exploratory neurobiological evidence suggesting that brain volume across numerous cortical and non-cortical homotopic regions may display consistent directional asymmetry in relation to a wide range of behavioral measures.
Scientists mapped every neural connection in a fruit fly and found a surprise
Scientists mapped every neural connection in a fruit fly and found a surprise Scientists have completed the first full brain-to-body wiring map of a fruit fly, revealing that behavior may be driven more by local neural teamwork than by a central brain command center. - Date: - June 10, 2026 - Source: - Harvard Medical School - Summary: - A groundbreaking new connectome maps every neural connection in an adult fruit fly’s central nervous system, creating an unprecedented view of how the brain...
Meet the Harvard grad and goalie who might lead the U.S. to World Cup glory
When Matt Freese was about 10 years old, he set out to solve a problem that existed entirely in his own head. He wanted to be a soccer goalie, but there was another boy his age in the area who was considered better. “He could dive and just fully get airborne,” Freese said.
Sequential multimodal sensory integration drives foraging decisions in leaf-cutting ants: Volatiles, contact cues and phytochemistry
Identifying the sensory cues that enable insects to find host plants, and understanding the neurobiology underlying their selection, provide solid foundations for developing state-of-the-art pest management strategies. Our work was aimed at identifying the main sensory cues attracting the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex ambiguus to alternative host plants in commercial willow plantations in the Lower Delta of the Parana River (Argentina), with a focus on native plant species. Eight plant species...
A prognostic human brain network for diffuse midline glioma
Abstract Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are near-universally lethal tumours of the childhood central nervous system1,2. In animal models, DMGs form brain-wide integrated networks through neuron-to-glioma synapses3,4,5,6 and glioma-to-glioma gap junctional coupling3. This extensive connectivity robustly promotes the growth and invasion of DMG3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and other glial malignancies10,11,12 through paracrine mechanisms and direct neuron-to-glioma synapses.
A thalamus–brainstem attractor network drives history-biased decisions
Abstract Natural environments often change gradually, making it adaptive to bias decisions on the basis of the recent past — a phenomenon known as serial dependence1,2,3. Large-scale recordings during behaviour have identified that serial dependence is a common motif for decision-making, with neural representations of past experiences found throughout the brain4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11. However, it remains unclear whether this bias arises from dedicated neural circuits with history-specific...
