G-protein coupled receptor 139 (GPR139) is an evolutionarily conserved orphan receptor,
predominantly expressing in the habenula of vertebrate species. The habenula has recently …

Chicks (Gallus gallus) learned to run from a starting box to a target located at the end of a
runway. At test, colourful and bright distractors were placed just outside the starting box …

Studies of language organization show a striking change in cerebral dominance for
language over development: We begin life with a left hemisphere (LH) bias for language …

Left–right brain asymmetry is a fundamental property observed across phyla from
invertebrates to humans, but the mechanisms underlying its formation are still largely …

The habenula is an evolutionarily conserved brain region comprising bilaterally paired
nuclei that plays a key role in processing reward information and mediating aversive …

Artificial intelligence systems have become proficient at linking environmental features to
targets to describe simple patterns in data. However, these systems can struggle with many …

Have you ever been stuck on a noisy train car? When you first got on the train, you were
probably annoyed by the conductor's loud voice over the speaker, the screeching sounds of …

The brain uses a specialized system to transport cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This system
consists of interconnected ventricles lined by ependymal cells, which generate a directional …

We report habenular lateralization in a simple transgenic mouse model used for labeling a
facet of neuronal activity history. A transgenic construct comprised of a zif268/egr1 …

Asymmetry between the left and right hemisphere is a key feature of brain organization.
Hemispheric functional specialization underlies some of the most advanced human-defining …
