Deciphering how neurons talk to each other by reading the brain’s electrical activity has given scientists insights into memory and conditions like epilepsy and Alzheimer’s.

A new surgical procedure gives people more neural feedback from their residual limb. With it, seven patients walked more naturally and navigated obstacles.

Momentary shifts in mood profoundly alter the brain’s response to pleasure in people with bipolar disorder.

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.

Study uncovers how the brain simulates possible future actions by drawing from our stored memories.

MIT engineers’ new implantable device could become an alternative to the electrodes now used to treat Parkinson’s and other diseases.

We now have the technology and knowledge to carry out real-time dream experiments with sleeping participants.

With support from The Marcus Foundation, an MIT neuroscientist and a Harvard Medical School immunologist will study the “fever effect” in an effort to devise therapies that mimic its beneficial effects.
