La biodiversidad de Latinoamérica impulsa avances en comportamiento social y cognición
Horneros, peces eléctricos, ranitas y otra fauna regional ayudan a los neurocientíficos a plantear nuevas preguntas de investigación en el campo.
How FALAN is building a thriving neuroscience community in Latin America
As the Federation of Latin American and Caribbean Neuroscience Societies Congress kicks off next week, its president shares how the organization aims to foster collaborations and provide high-quality training for young neuroscientists in the region.
The State of Neuroscience in Latin America
Through interviews with dozens of Latin American neuroscientists, The Transmitter explores how researchers in six countries—Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay—conduct high-quality research in the face of numerous obstacles.

Finally, a new route for the magnetic-sense field
Researchers have dueled for years over how the magnetic sense works. New data from monarch butterflies could finally help settle the debate.

Sensory over-responsivity tied to autism, anxiety but not other conditions
Negative reactions to sensations track with certain neurodevelopmental traits in more than 15,000 children—pointing to shared neurobiological roots.

Neuromechanical models deepen our understanding of animal motor control
Thanks to recent progress in physics-based simulators and robotics, it has never been easier for neuroscientists to use neuromechanical modeling to test hypotheses about animal movement.
