MIT researchers find activating a specific acetylcholine receptor in the brain reduces cocaine use in rodents.

MIT neuroscientists have developed a computer model that can answer that question as well as the human brain.

Sharing food and kissing are among the signals babies use to interpret their social world, according to a new study.

Computational modeling shows that both our ears and our environment influence how we hear.

Study suggests this area of the visual cortex emerges much earlier in development than previously thought.

Human neurons have fewer ion channels, which might have allowed the human brain to divert energy to other neural processes.

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

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

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

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