MIT senior Srihitha Dasari reflects on the power of experiential learning through the PKG Center for Social Impact.

Impairments of this circuit may help to explain why some people with schizophrenia lose touch with reality.

Discovering this common mechanism could lead to a universal anesthesia-delivery system to monitor patients more effectively.

By showing the problem derives from genetic mutations that lead to overexpression of a microRNA, MIT researchers’ study points to potential treatment.

Using a computational model, neuroscientists showed how the brain can selectively focus attention on one voice among others in a noisy environment.

New work suggests the brain can deliver neuron-specific feedback during learning — resembling the error signals that drive machine learning.

Patterns of gaze and attention can reveal how some people unconsciously figure out how to master a task, new research shows.

Offering substantial prize funding alongside workshops, classes, and mentorship, the initiative helps translate early-stage biotech research into venture-ready innovation.

Researchers find mice modeling the autism spectrum disorder fragile X syndrome exhibit the same pattern of differences in low-frequency waves as humans — a new marker for treatment studies.
