One of the biggest puzzles in neuroscience is how our brains encode thoughts, such as perceptions and memories, at the cellular level.
Today, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced the first round of Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative award recipients, including several MIT
Today, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced their first round of BRAIN Initiative award recipients.
For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to design computer networks that can mimic visual skills such as recognizing objects, which the human brain does very accurately and quickly.
Scientists have long known that our ability to think quickly and recall information, also known as fluid intelligence, peaks around age 20 and then begins a slow decline.
Researchers at MIT have developed a method to stimulate brain tissue using external magnetic fields and injected magnetic nanoparticles — a technique allowing direct stimulation of neurons, which c
Report calls for more integration of physical, life sciences for needed advances in biomedical research.
Machine-learning system spontaneously reproduces aspects of human neurology.
A distinctive neural signature found in the brains of people with dyslexia may explain why these individuals have difficulty learning to read, according to a new study from MIT neuroscientists.
