Exclusive: Issues with dozens of papers prompt inquiry into prolific stroke researcher

1 week ago | thetransmitter.org | Calli McMurray

Loma Linda University Health has launched an inquiry into the work of stroke researcher John H. Zhang after a data sleuth flagged issues with 98 of his papers, The Transmitter has learned. The papers were published between 2003 and 2024 in 38 journals. So far, 2 papers have been retracted, 19 have been corrected, and 27 have expressions of concern, according to an analysis by The Transmitter.

FlyBase funding squashed amid Harvard grant terminations

3 weeks ago | thetransmitter.org | Calli McMurray

The scientists behind a major Drosophila genetics database are scrambling to secure new funding to maintain the resource after their nearly $2 million grant was canceled in May by the Trump administration. The repository, FlyBase, contains information about every Drosophila gene, phenotypic data and links to relevant research papers and other public databases, including available tools and genetic stocks.

Exclusive: Recruitment issues jeopardize ambitious plan for human brain atlas

1 month ago | thetransmitter.org | Calli McMurray

At least six new brain donors who can do a functional MRI scan—that’s what it will take to complete the most comprehensive human brain atlas yet, project investigators say. The Human and Mammalian Brain Atlas (HMBA) aims to capture information about the identity and location of cells across the entire brain and tie it, for the first time, to the functional organization of the cortex.
Too much or too little brain synchrony may underlie autism subtypes

2 months ago | thetransmitter.org | Calli McMurray |Jill Adams |Holly Barker |Charles Choi

Twenty mouse models of autism can be sorted into two subtypes based on functional connectivity across the entire brain, a new preprint reports. The subtypes reflect changes in different molecular pathways and map on to nearly one-quarter of autistic people represented in a large dataset.
Smell studies often use unnaturally high odor concentrations, analysis reveals

2 months ago | thetransmitter.org | Calli McMurray |Benjamin Young |Jill Adams |Mark Humphries

Olfactory neuroscientists have known for a while that their stimuli stink. In many experiments, lab animals inhale puffs of a single strong odorant for only a few seconds at a time, an experience that “likely bears little resemblance—either in concentration or in form—to the ways in which animals naturalistically interact with odors,” says Sandeep Robert Datta, professor of neurobiology at Harvard University.
Coding error caused layoffs at National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke this week, source says
