K. Lisa Yang Brain-Body Center to investigate the brain’s complex relationship with other body systems.

This circuit, which weakens with age, could offer a target to help prevent age-related decline in spatial memory.

With a comprehensive map of the wiring, researchers can now discern what information flows into the circuit to enable a key brain function.

Natural language processing models capture rich knowledge of words’ meanings through statistics.

These cells, located in the brain’s striatum, appear to help with decision-making that requires evaluating risks and benefits.

Faculty leaders describe their efforts to develop potentially game-changing tools.

Tracing connections between neuron populations could help researchers map brain circuits that underlie behavior and perception.

Researchers find similarities between how some computer-vision systems process images and how humans see out of the corners of our eyes.

MIT neuroscientists have identified a population of neurons in the human brain that respond to singing but not other types of music.

Different types of these branch-like projections process incoming information in different ways before sending it to the body of the neuron.
