Propofol, a drug commonly used for general anesthesia, derails the brain’s normal balance between stability and excitability.

This tiny, biocompatible sensor may overcome one of the biggest hurdles that prevent the devices from being completely implanted.

Three innovations by an MIT-based team enable high-resolution, high-throughput imaging of human brain tissue at a full range of scales, and mapping connectivity of neurons at single-cell resolution.

New camera chip design allows for optimizing each pixel’s timing to maximize signal-to-noise ratio when tracking real-time visual indicator of neural voltage.

MIT neuroscientists have found that the brain uses the same cognitive representations whether navigating through space physically or mentally.

By capturing short-lived RNA molecules, scientists can map relationships between genes and the regulatory elements that control them.

New adhesive hydrogel coatings could prolong the lifespan of pacemakers, drug delivery depots, and other medical devices.

By providing plausible label maps for one medical image, the Tyche machine-learning model could help clinicians and researchers capture crucial information.

MIT researchers plan to search for proteins that could be used to measure electrical activity in the brain.
