Research on mice suggests aging affects a brain circuit critical for learning to make some types of decisions.

Recurrent processing via prefrontal cortex, necessary for quick visual object processing in primates, provides a key insight for developing brain-like artificial intelligence.

Tool developed at MIT simultaneously measures chemical and electrical brain signals, revealing unexpectedly complex relationship between brain signals.

Modifications to chromosomes in “engram” neurons control the encoding and retrieval of memories.

In some situations, asking “what if everyone did that?” is a common strategy for judging whether an action is right or wrong.

Scientists distinguish brain regions based on what they do, but now have a new way to overlay information about how they are built.

A CRISPR-based test developed at MIT and the Broad Institute can detect nearly as many cases as the standard Covid-19 diagnostic.

Study also finds specific frequency bands of brain waves associated with encoding, or inhibiting encoding, of sensory information across the cortex.

Study finds that the fusiform face area is active when blind people touch 3D models of faces.

New statistical model may help scientists understand how animals infer whether surroundings are novel or haven’t changed enough to be a new context.
