Tool developed at MIT simultaneously measures chemical and electrical brain signals, revealing unexpectedly complex relationship between brain signals.

Modifications to chromosomes in “engram” neurons control the encoding and retrieval of memories.

Scientists distinguish brain regions based on what they do, but now have a new way to overlay information about how they are built.

Study also finds specific frequency bands of brain waves associated with encoding, or inhibiting encoding, of sensory information across the cortex.

A well-known protein family binds to many more RNA sequences than previously thought in order to help neurons grow.

Study finds that the fusiform face area is active when blind people touch 3D models of faces.

Part of the visual cortex dedicated to recognizing objects appears predisposed to identifying words and letters, a study finds.

New analysis could help uncover potential drug targets for attention deficits and sensory hypersensitivity.

Device not only helps record dream reports, but also guides dreams toward particular themes.

Unique survey of gene expression by cell type in humans and mice reveals several deficits affecting the most vulnerable neurons.
