The Allen Institute has joined UC Berkeley, UCSF, and the University of Washington in the Weill Neurohub — a collaborative research network advancing treatments for neurological diseases.

The Yartsev lab and collaborators have found that bats have similar neural and genetic machinery for vocal learning as humans — the first such discovery in a mammal — with potential implications for speech disorders.

A new study from the Jagust lab finds that excessive neural activity in brain networks could explain how the protein beta-amyloid drives accumulation of the protein tau, causing cognitive decline.
