On the high seas with Florian Engert and Bence Ölveczky
The two neuroscientists leave this week to take on the most dangerous leg of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race — sailing from South Africa to Australia through the fabled “Roaring Forties,” latitudes of the Southern Ocean known for their towering waves and prevailing gale-force westerlies.

Ann Kennedy explains the theoretical neuroscience of survival behaviors
The Scripps neuroscientist calls for a broader theoretical neuroscience approach in her area of research, which focuses on how the subcortex bridges life and cognition.
