A new way to study how this gene can alter an individual’s psychology?

There is no shortage of wonders that our central nervous system produces—from thought and language to movement to the five senses. All of those dazzling traits, however, depend on an underappreciated deep brain mechanism that Donald Pfaff, head of the Laboratory of Neurobiology and Behavior at The Rockefeller University, calls generalized arousal, or GA for short. GA is

Fishing for DNA: Free-floating eDNA identifies presence and abundance of ocean life

Fish leave bits of DNA behind that researchers can collect. Mark Stoeckle/Diane Rome Peebles images, CC BY-ND Mark Stoeckle, The Rockefeller University Ocean life is largely hidden from view. Monitoring what lives where is costly – typically requiring big boats, big nets, skilled personnel and plenty of time. An emerging technology using what’s called environmental

Discovery provides a powerful research tool and could help facilitate the creation of DNA-based data storage devices

Some microbes can form memories—although, inconveniently for scientists who study the process, they don’t do it very often. Rockefeller University researchers and their colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, have found a way to make bacteria encode memories much more frequently. Their discovery was described December 22 in Molecular Cell. “CRISPR, the adaptive immune

Machine-learning system spontaneously reproduces aspects of human neurology

How the brain recognizes faces MIT researchers and their colleagues have developed a new computational model of the human brain’s face-recognition mechanism that seems to capture aspects of human neurology that previous models have missed. The researchers designed a machine-learning system that implemented their model, and they trained it to recognize particular faces by feeding

New technique captures the activity of an entire brain in a snapshot with a brain activity capture tool

When it comes to measuring brain activity, scientists have tools that can take a precise look at a small slice of the brain (less than one cubic millimeter), or a blurred look at a larger area. Now, researchers at The Rockefeller University have described a new technique that combines the best of both worlds—it captures

Electronic nose can sniff out bacteria in drinking water

New technology could be used to detect drugs at airports, diagnose certain cancers and test food quality, researchers say Humans can detect more than one trillion different smells, according to a study by researchers at The Rockefeller University. With such power to distinguish smells, the human nose can identify the scent of a beautiful flower,

Drugs from dirt — Scientists develop first global roadmap for drug discovery

Rockefeller University scientists have analysed soils from beaches, forests, and deserts on five continents and discovered the best places in the world to mine untapped antibiotic and anticancer drugs. The findings, published in the open-access journal eLife, provide new insights into the natural world as well as a road map for future drug discovery. The

Using geometry, researchers coax human embryonic stem cells to organize themselves

“It brings us closer to the possibility of replacement organs grown in petri dishes and wounds that can be swiftly healed.” About seven days after conception, something remarkable occurs in the clump of cells that will eventually become a new human being. They start to specialize. They take on characteristics that begin to hint at

Deep Carbon Observatory scientists discover quick recipe for producing hydrogen

New formula for fast, abundant H2 production may help power fuel cells, helps explain expansive chemical-eating microbial communities of the deep Scientists in Lyon, a French city famed for its cuisine, have discovered a quick-cook recipe for copious volumes of hydrogen (H2). The breakthrough suggests a better way of producing the hydrogen that propels rockets

Scientists Coax Brain to Regenerate Cells Lost in Huntington’s Disease in Mouse Model

Researchers have been able to mobilize the brain’s native stem cells to replenish a type of neuron lost in Huntington’s disease. In the study, which appears today in the journal Cell Stem Cell, the scientists were able to both trigger the production of new neurons in mice with the disease and show that the new cells
