MIT researchers report early-stage clinical study results of tests with noninvasive 40-hertz light and sound treatment.

These immature connections may explain how the adult brain is able to form new memories and absorb new information.

In people carrying APOE4, a key brain cell mismanages cholesterol needed to insulate neurons properly — another sign APOE4 contributes to disease by disrupting brain lipids.

At an exhibition marking two decades since a transformative gift from the Picower Foundation, current and alumni members described research at the forefront of neuroscience and beyond.

Study indicates ailing neurons may instigate an inflammatory response from the brain’s microglia immune cells.

When holding information in mind, neural activity is more focused when and where there are bursts of gamma frequency rhythms.

Research reveals cells that span brain hemispheres to coordinate activity in visual processing centers, shows Alzheimer’s degrades their structure and function.

Nerve cells regulate and routinely refresh the collection of calcium channels that enable them to send messages across circuit connections.

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

Innovative brain-wide mapping study shows that an “engram,” the ensemble of neurons encoding a memory, is widely distributed and includes regions not previously realized.
