Timothy Ryan on his pivotal switch from studying particle physics to decoding synaptic transmission
Dissuaded from pursuing theoretical physics and deterred by the “long feedback loop” in experimental physics, the National Academy of Sciences member took inspiration from “polymath” Watt Webb and “visionary” Stephen Smith—and learned to work “completely outside his comfort zone.”

How can we fold cellular-level details into whole-brain neuroimaging networks?
I got answers from Bratislav Misic, who is inventing practical ways to connect the brain’s microscopic features with its macroscopic organization.

We found a major flaw in a scientific reagent used in thousands of neuroscience experiments — and we’re trying to fix it.
As part of that ambition, we launched a public-private partnership to systematically evaluate antibodies used to study neurological disease, and we plan to make all the data freely available.

Ehud Ahissar offers a new kind of dualism for neuroscience
He explains how “perceptual dualism” can account for the way we communicate via digital symbols and perceive the world via analog brain processes.
