Study reveals key cell structures and gene expression changes near amyloid plaques and tau tangles in mouse brain tissue.

The cap will help researchers gain new insight into how the brain functions.

A new study identifies cells that are the most vulnerable within a brain structure involved in mood and movement.

“Single-cell profiling” is helping neuroscientists see how disease affects major brain cell types and identify common, potentially targetable pathways.

Comparing models of working memory with real-world data, MIT researchers find information resides not in persistent neural activity, but in the pattern of its connections.

Exhibit at MIT's Koch Institute attempts to make visible the luminary personalities behind major scientific and engineering advances.

Using these engineered proteins, researchers can record histories that reveal when certain genes are activated or how cells respond to a drug.

Longtime MIT professor of neuroscience led research behind 200 patents, laying the groundwork for numerous medical products.

Built on recent advances in machine learning, the model predicts how well individuals will produce and comprehend sentences.

Using this approach, researchers can map how light spreads in opaque environments.
