Across mammalian species, brain waves are slower in deep cortical layers, while superficial layers generate faster rhythms.

A new study finds that language regions in the left hemisphere light up when reading uncommon sentences, while straightforward sentences elicit little response.

Study shows computational models trained to perform auditory tasks display an internal organization similar to that of the human auditory cortex.

Using fluorescent labels that switch on and off, MIT engineers can study how molecules in a cell interact to control the cell’s behavior.

By analyzing bacterial data, researchers have discovered thousands of rare new CRISPR systems that have a range of functions and could enable gene editing, diagnostics, and more.

BRAIN CONNECTS supports McGovern Institute and Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences research aimed at mapping the brain’s connections.

Two studies find “self-supervised” models, which learn about their environment from unlabeled data, can show activity patterns similar to those of the mammalian brain.

The fibers could help with testing treatments for nerve-related pain.

Images that humans perceive as completely unrelated can be classified as the same by computational models.

New research finds RNA-guided enzymes called Fanzors are widespread among eukaryotic organisms.
