Genetic circuits and reaction cascades are of great importance for synthetic biology, biochemistry and bioengineering. An open question is how to maximize the modularity of their design to enable the ...

Transient cell–cell interactions involving presynaptic neurons and cells that are extrinsic to the neural circuit have important roles in the assembly of the nervous system. In contrast to classically ...

A particular brain circuit has been linked by researchers to mammals' tendency to interact socially. Stimulating this circuit -- one among millions in the brain -- instantly increases a mouse's ...

At this year’s Society for Neuroscience meeting (Neuroscience; 12 – 16 November; San Diego, CA, USA) we caught up with Pedro Espinosa, a PhD student in Camilla Bellone’s laboratory at the neuroscience ...
