When the Calgary Brain Bank receives a donation, neuroscientist Jeffrey Joseph meticulously divvies up tissue samples for researchers to study.

Tipsy honeybees might be a new animal model in addiction research.

Let neuroscience help you in the classroom. This resource gives you a primer to brain-based education.

A lot, it turns out. Some animals can detect forms of energy invisible to us, like magnetic and electrical fields. Others see light and hear sounds well outside the range of human perception.

Research in non-human primates can answer questions that can’t be addressed using other animal models.

Researchers are finding signs of multiple phases of sleep all over the animal kingdom. The ‘active’ sleep phases look very much like REM.

Huda Akil’s research on pain and stress illuminates the brain’s own resources for combatting physical and mental distress.

Dopamine doesn’t just send messages between neurons. Parkinson’s and addiction research reveals it can directly bind to proteins, helping turn genes on and off in a process called ‘dopaminylation.’

UCLA’s Susan Perry has devoted decades to studying the fast-motion life of these New World primates and learning how the young acquire the skills they need to thrive.

Your brain has a powerful connection to the vast neuronal network in your gut via the vagus nerve. This ties your digestive tract to mood, cognition, and brain physiology, so researchers are interested in the microbiome as a therapeutic target for mental health and more.
