When artificial intelligence is tasked with visually identifying objects and faces, it assigns specific components of its network to face recognition — just like the human brain.
Electric fields may represent information held in working memory, allowing the brain to overcome “representational drift,” or the inconsistent participation of individual neurons.
Cannabinoid receptors help the brain’s dopamine system establish key connections after birth, a new mouse study suggests.
These cells, located in the brain’s striatum, appear to help with decision-making that requires evaluating risks and benefits.
Martin Luther King Jr. Scholar bridges disciplines to translate vision into elegant math and neuroscience theory.
Professor describes a new research center he is working to develop where researchers will seek to improve patient care by integrating neuroscience and anesthesiology.
Tracing connections between neuron populations could help researchers map brain circuits that underlie behavior and perception.
State-of-the-art analysis of brain images from nearly 700 children has turned up surprisingly few links between white matter structure and reading ability.
MIT neuroscientists have identified a population of neurons in the human brain that respond to singing but not other types of music.
A model’s ability to generalize is influenced by both the diversity of the data and the way the model is trained, researchers report.
Fan Wang’s studies of how the brain controls pain may one day lead to new treatments that could help millions of people.
Different types of these branch-like projections process incoming information in different ways before sending it to the body of the neuron.
MIT researchers find activating a specific acetylcholine receptor in the brain reduces cocaine use in rodents.
A new deep-learning algorithm trained to optimize doses of propofol to maintain unconsciousness during general anesthesia could augment patient monitoring.
