Spatially distributed and regionally unbound cellular resolution brain-wide processing loops in mice Until recently, it has been possible to examine activity in the brain globally through regional averaging or locally at cellular resolution. These studies characterized regions as functionally homogen...

Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date.

We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400.

Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.

Come join us at University of Toronto. We're hiring a Professor of computational cognitive neuroscience.

News from ENIGMA-Epilepsy! 🧠

Our latest study links polygenic risk for TLE-HS to cortical thinning in kids—mirroring patterns in adult patients.

Early imaging-genetics insights could reveal interplay of epilepsy risk and phenotypes before symptoms emerge.

Emergence of Brains This review traces how ideas from statistical physics evolved into foundational models of neural computation, shaping modern AI and culminating in the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics.

It was an honor to write this, but also great fun. A chance to look back at the classics, and think about the path forward. #Physics is a beautiful human endeavor. journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...
