Throughout her legendary career in developmental neuroscience, Lynn Landmesser was driven by a fascination for understanding species’ behaviors. It’s one that took root when she was a child in California, where she explored diverse environments ranging from tide pools to deserts and mountains. And,…

There are several factors that can influence an individual’s memory—and sleep habits are crucial. Beyond influencing our ability to fight disease and develop immunity, proper sleep is also essential for improving our overall brain performance. Masashi Tabuchi In recognition of National…
