By temporarily suspending retinal activity in the non-amblyopic eye of animal models, neuroscientists restrengthen the visual response in the "lazy" eye, even at ages after the critical period when patch therapy fails.

Through a summer research program at MIT, Patricia Pujols explored the neuromuscular junction, and a future in science.

The visual cortex stores and remembers individual images, but mice can’t recognize image sequences without guidance from the hippocampus.

To quickly express learning and memory genes, brain cells snap both strands of DNA in many more places and cell types than previously realized, a new study shows.

As “visual recognition memory” emerges in the visual cortex, one circuit of inhibitory neurons supplants another, and slower neural oscillations prevail.

Machine learning software advances could help anesthesiologists optimize drug dose.

Simultaneous measurement of neural rhythms and spikes across five brain areas reveals how propofol induces unconsciousness.

MIT neuroscientists have identified a brain circuit that stops mice from mating with others that appear to be sick.

The gene variant disrupts lipid metabolism, but in cell experiments the effects were reversed by choline supplements.

A new computational approach for analyzing complex datasets shows that as disease progresses, neurons and astrocytes lose the ability to maintain homeostasis.
