High levels of cannabidiol (CBD) in cannabis can offset the neuropsychiatric effects of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) by preventing activation of an emotional processing pathway, according to research recently published in JNeurosci.

Demonstrating a strong commitment to supporting the career development of the next generation of scientists, the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) awarded 193 young researchers Trainee Professional Development Awards (TPDA), enabling them to present their research at Neuroscience 2019.

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy issued a letter to the United States research community addressing internationally collaborative science.

In adults that are born blind, the "visual" cortex is activated in a similar way during a listening task, according to new research in JNeurosci. The results answer questions about how development can override anatomy to influence brain function.

Female mice housed alone during adolescence show atypical development of the prefrontal cortex and resort to habitual behavior in adulthood, according to new research published in eNeuro. These findings show how social isolation could lead to an over-reliance on habit-like behaviors that are associated with addiction and obesity.

SfN successfully competed for a five-year grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) to continue its longstanding Neuroscience Scholars Program.

Scientists have observed how the human brain represents a familiar piece of music, according to research published in JNeurosci. Their results suggest that listening to and remembering music involve different cognitive processes.

Chronic cocaine use changes gene expression in the hippocampus, according to research in mice recently published in JNeurosci.

Physical manifestations of negative memories in the hippocampus could underlie cognitive symptoms of depression, according to research in mice published in JNeurosci.
