By employing the new research capability of single-cell profiling, MIT neuroscientists find that Alzheimer's disease’s disruptions converge on five main areas of cellular function, or “pathways,” in each of five major brain cell types.

We learn about the psychology behind our discomfort with pursuing new, challenging goals

MIT researchers have found that information is stored not by persistent neural activity, but by the pattern of the connections, or synapses, formed among neurons.

There are two fundamentally different cell types in the brain, neurons and glial cells. The latter, for example, insulate the "wiring" of nerve cells or guarantee optimal working conditions for them.

The phenomenon of apes learning sign language isn’t new.

The computer vision community seeks to integrate cognitive processing, advance trustworthy algorithms, and address ethical considerations in this new year.

Findings support modern thought that neural networks store information by making short-term alterations to the synapses. The study sheds new light on short-term synaptic plasticity in recent memory storage.
