Jeffrey M. Friedman’s lab has discovered a mechanism to explain how leptin resistance works.

Most obese patients grow resistant to satiety signals from the hormone leptin. A new study shows that leptin sensitivity can be restored in mice, leading to weight loss.

When placed in mice, an RNA-binding protein found only in the brains of humans changed how the animals vocalized to each other.

How much does the evolution of human speech owe to one amino acid?

Male fruit flies don’t just sing to their mates; they also use sound-cancelling wing-flicks to jockey with rivals. This new understanding of how male flies compete for female partners could shed light on how the brain balances cooperation and competition.

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites.

The Miller Brain Observatory, which boasts some of the most advanced imaging technology in the world, is now accepting research proposals. 

Freiwald is honored for his groundbreaking work revealing biological mechanisms of facial recognition.

Researchers have identified how the architecture of brain circuits helps different species flexibly adapt to new mating signals across evolutionary timeframes.
