Neuroscience research reveals new clues about the mechanisms for regrowing the cochlear hair cells that help us hear.

The findings are based on data collected from thousands of children who participated in the landmark Adolescence Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study.

Certain young and healthy people show improved performance on cognitive tasks while walking, a finding that could guide scientists to identify markers for cognitive flexibility.

For two years, the University’s Neuroscience Diversity Commission has worked to create a more inclusive and equitable culture for students, faculty, and researchers.

Using a large, nationwide sample, Rochester researchers looked at the impact that environmental and social risk factors can have during childhood.

A computer model devised by Rochester neuroscientists suggests that the brain can represent smells both like a painting and a symphony.

The drug disulfiram, also known as Antabuse, works by blocking a pathway similar to the one that’s hyperactivated in degenerative blindness.

New research has identified the neurons that respond to singing, but not to other types of music. The findings provide insights into how the brain processes different sounds.
