All for one: How diverse brain cells reach a decision together June 25, 2025 How the brain, made up of billions of specialized cells, weighs evidence and makes split-second decisions has long been a mystery. A new study led by Princeton University researchers finds that, despite complex and varied activity among individual neurons, their behavior is shaped by a shared structure that helps the brain reach a unified choice. Feature Research Graduating neuroscience students celebrated at Class Day 2025 June 19, 2025 The Princeton Neuroscience Institute celebrated the Class of 2025 Neuroscience (NEU) majors during its annual Class Day Ceremony on May 26, 2025. The event brought together seniors, their families and friends, and PNI faculty to honor the accomplishments and academic journeys of this year's cohort of graduating neuroscience students.… Undergraduates Neuroscience minor Ammon Love named Udall Scholar June 10, 2025 Congratulations to Ammon Love, a neuroscience minor at Princeton, who was recently named an Udall Scholar! The nationwide Udall Foundation awards scholarships to college sophomores and juniors “committed to careers in the environment, Tribal public policy or Native health care.” Love is majoring in the School of Public and International Affairs… Undergraduates Elizabeth Margulis recognized as outstanding graduate student mentor May 19, 2025 Four Princeton University faculty members have been selected as recipients of the 2025 Graduate Mentoring Awards, including PNI associated professor Elizabeth Margulis. Awards & Honors Neuroscience students honored at Princeton Research Day 2025 May 12, 2025 Two members of the Princeton Neuroscience Institute community were recognized for their outstanding ability to communicate complex research during Princeton Research Day 2025: undergraduate Jeffrey Chen '25 and graduate student Serene Dhawan. Awards & Honors William Bialek elected to American Academy of Arts and Sciences May 5, 2025 Congratulations to associated faculty member William Bialek, who was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences! Awards & Honors Mala Murthy earns pilot grant to investigate autism risk genes and social communication April 10, 2025 Congratulations to PNI's Director Mala Murthy, who was awarded a 2024 Pilot Award from… Awards & Honors Scientists map the half-billion connections that allow mice to see April 9, 2025 After nine years of painstaking work, an international team of researchers, co-led by PNI’s Sebastian Seung, published a… Research Augustin Hennings awarded prestigious NIMH postdoctoral fellowship April 8, 2025 Congratulations to Augustin Hennings, a postdoctoral fellow working in the labs of PNI professors Yael Niv and Kenneth Norman, on being awarded a prestigious two-year National Research Service Award from the National Institute of Mental Health. His research tackles a fundamental challenge in anxiety treatment: why symptoms often return after… Awards & Honors How the brain remembers what gave you food poisoning April 2, 2025 We've all been there: one bad oyster ruins seafood forever. Now, Princeton neuroscientists have pinpointed how the brain stores memories for these powerful food aversions in mice. The new results reveal how “one-shot learning”, where a single experience creates lasting memories, unfolds in rodents, which might shed light on how similar memories form in people, such as how a single traumatic event can lead to PTSD. Research Princeton hosts annual Brain Bee neuroscience competition for high schoolers March 3, 2025 The Princeton Neuroscience Network (PNN) was excited to host the Princeton Regional Brain Bee for the fifth year on February 15, 2025. This competition is the first step in an international event testing… Outreach $1.2M Keck Foundation grant advances PNI research bridging brain wiring and neural activity Feb. 27, 2025 Team to build on the fruit fly’s newly mapped “connectome” and develop innovative tools for measuring and manipulating every neuron in real time.
