MIT Picower Institute neuroscientists lay out a framework for understanding how thought arises from the coordination of neural activity driven by oscillating electric fields also known as brain “waves” or “rhythms.”
At the MIT Quantitative Methods Workshop, a weeklong introduction to how computational and mathematical techniques can be applied to neuroscience and biology research, students gain new skills and make new connections.
The MIT Simons Center for the Social Brain catalyzes multiperspective, multiscale research collaborations to understand the neural mechanisms underlying social cognition and behavior.
In mice and human cell cultures, MIT researchers showed that lipid nanoparticles can deliver a potential RNA therapy for inflammation in the brain, a prominent symptom in Alzheimer’s disease.
MIT Professor Elly Nedivi has been honored with the Krieg Cortical Kudos Discoverer Award for her ongoing work to understand molecular and cellular mechanisms that enable the brain to adapt to experience.
