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

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.

Electric fields may represent information held in working memory, allowing the brain to overcome “representational drift,” or the inconsistent participation of individual neurons.

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

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

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

A model’s ability to generalize is influenced by both the diversity of the data and the way the model is trained, researchers report.

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

MIT researchers find activating a specific acetylcholine receptor in the brain reduces cocaine use in rodents.

A new deep-learning algorithm trained to optimize doses of propofol to maintain unconsciousness during general anesthesia could augment patient monitoring.
