Neuroscience Gateway
Changes to the Neuroscience Gateway
We are working hard on further developing the Neuroscience Gateway in new exciting directions. During this time, we will provide you each month with Research Highlights and News and will be resting other areas of the site such as the Neurotechniques and Featured Articles. We hope you will continue to find these monthly updates useful, and we will provide more details about the development of the Gateway as soon as we can.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT
The highlights of the latest important papers
Neuroimaging: Free will?
Recent findings have shown that activity in two non-motor-related cortical areas can predict the outcome of a movement decision up to 10 seconds before an individual becomes aware of the decision.
Nature Reviews Neuroscience 9, 410-411 (2008); doi:10.1038/nrn2404
Neural circuits: Sing a song of "sex please"
Male Drosophila melanogaster court females with a courtship 'song' created by distinctive wing vibrations. Although the females themselves do not normally sing, a new study has shown that part of the neural circuitry that underlies this male-specific behaviour is also functional in the opposite sex.
