A new machine-learning system helps robots understand and perform certain social interactions.

The findings may help explain why some people who lead enriching lives are less prone to Alzheimer’s and age-related dementia.

Neuroscientists find the internal workings of next-word prediction models resemble those of language-processing centers in the brain.

We seem to be wired to calculate not the shortest path but the “pointiest” one, facing us toward our destination as much as possible.

While the brain acquires resistance to continuous treatment with mGluR5 inhibitor drugs, lasting effects may still arise if dosing occurs intermittently and during a developmental-critical period.

Dedicated circuits evaluate uncertainty in the brain, preventing it from using unreliable information to make decisions.

A study of mice watching movies shows our brain cells rely on a circuit of inhibitory neurons to help ensure that the same images are represented consistently.

By temporarily suspending retinal activity in the non-amblyopic eye of animal models, neuroscientists restrengthen the visual response in the "lazy" eye, even at ages after the critical period when patch therapy fails.

Researchers find RNA-guided enzymes are more diverse and widespread than previously believed.

Through a summer research program at MIT, Patricia Pujols explored the neuromuscular junction, and a future in science.
