First detailed mapping and modeling of thalamus inputs onto visual cortex neurons show brain leverages “wisdom of the crowd” to process sensory information.

The cap will help researchers gain new insight into how the brain functions.

A new study identifies cells that are the most vulnerable within a brain structure involved in mood and movement.

“Single-cell profiling” is helping neuroscientists see how disease affects major brain cell types and identify common, potentially targetable pathways.

Comparing models of working memory with real-world data, MIT researchers find information resides not in persistent neural activity, but in the pattern of its connections.

MIT researchers are discovering which parts of the brain are engaged when a person evaluates a computer program.

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

A new optogenetics-based tool allows researchers to control how neurons respond to electrical input.

Rubbing an aching body part can bring some relief. Neuroscientists at MIT's McGovern Institute are looking to find out why.

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