We can now collect cell-count data across whole animal brains quantifying recent neuronal activity, gene expression, or anatomical connectivity. This is a powerful approach since it is a multi-region ...
Recent research identified hundreds of genetic variants influencing brain structure sizes, linking larger volumes to Parkinson’s risk and smaller volumes to ADHD.
Some birds exhibit regular seasonal changes in brain structure to support specific behaviors. For example, regions of a songbird’s brain associated with singing may expand during the warmer months ...
