Using a virtual reality setup, the team fixed a larval zebrafish fish in place and showed it different visual patterns. The first 10 seconds show the fish at rest. When the fish sees a pattern ...

Scientists headed by a team at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) reported on the development of Zebrahub, a dynamic, state-of-the-art atlas of zebrafish embryonic development.

The microbes in the gut influence mood and cognition through the gut-brain axis. New research reveals that the intestinal microbes influence the development of the brain in the early stages.

The decades-old anesthetic ketamine could be a game changer for treating severe depression, but there are still many questions about how the drug works, including exactly how it affects the brain's ...
