Ketamine targets lateral habenula, setting off cascade of antidepressant effects
The drug’s affinity for overactive cells in the “anti-reward” region may help explain its rapid and long-lasting results.

Cannabis may be rescheduled–what does it mean for neuroscience?
The drug could become much easier to access, increasing the number of researchers who can work with it and the manufacturers who can produce it.

The legacy of William Catterall, ‘father of ion channels’
Catterall, who characterized the structure, function and regulation of sodium and calcium channels crucial for neuronal excitability, died last month at the age of 77.

What happens when a histopathologist teams up with computational modelers?
Answers emerge in my chat with Nicola Palomero-Gallagher, a rare example of someone who connects the brain’s microscopic constituents and macroscopic features.

Commentary: Citation graphs may underestimate neuroscience’s influence on AI
An alternative, albeit less quantitative, way to trace this history is through the people who carried ideas between the fields.

Commentary: The rising absolute number of neuro-inspired AI papers represents a substantial footprint
Many of the design choices present in the current generation of artificial-intelligence tools parallel purported properties of the brain.

Examining the bridge between neuroscience and AI
A citation analysis reveals that the connection between the two fields is real and gaining momentum. But it’s also narrow and tool-heavy; we need to find ways to widen it.
