Payton Dupuis finds new scientific interests and career opportunities through MIT summer research program in biology.

A machine-learning method finds patterns of health decline in ALS, informing future clinical trial designs and mechanism discovery. The technique also extends to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Neuroscience PhD student Fernanda De La Torre uses complex algorithms to investigate philosophical questions about perception and reality.

A simple animal model shows how stimuli and states such as smells, stressors, and satiety converge in an olfactory neuron to guide food-seeking behavior.

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

MIT neuroscientists have identified an oscillatory circuit that controls the rhythmic movement of mouse whiskers.

MIT scientists have discovered a population of neurons that light up whenever we see images of food.

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

By tracking feedback during tasks, the anterior cingulate cortex notices when a new step has become necessary and signals the motor cortex to adjust.

Using organoids to model early development, researchers used an emerging microscopy technology to see that new neurons struggled to reach their developmental destination.
