For the first time, researchers use a combination of MEG and fMRI to map the spatio-temporal human brain dynamics of a visual image being recognized.

An MRI method purported to detect neurons’ rapid impulses produces its own misleading signals instead, an MIT study finds.

Single-cell gene expression patterns in the brain, and evidence from follow-up experiments, reveal many shared cellular and molecular similarities that could be targeted for potential treatment.

An MIT study finds the brains of polyglots expend comparatively little effort when processing their native language.

Study finds stimulating a key brain rhythm with light and sound increases peptide release from interneurons, driving clearance of an Alzheimer’s protein.

Professor Ernest Fraenkel has decoded fundamental aspects of Huntington’s disease and glioblastoma, and is now using computation to better understand amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Study finds language-processing difficulties are an indicator — more so than memory loss — of amnestic mild cognitive impairment.

Team-based targeted projects, multi-mentor fellowships ensure that scientists studying social cognition, behavior, and autism integrate multiple perspectives and approaches to pressing questions.

An MIT study finds the brains of children who grow up in less affluent households are less responsive to rewarding experiences.

Researchers survey a broadening landscape of studies showing what’s known, and what remains to be found, about the therapeutic potential of noninvasive sensory, electrical, or magnetic stimulation of gamma brain rhythms.
