The next phase of AI is the human touch.

MIT senior Teresa Gao was named the Class of 2024 Mitchell Scholar. As a recipient of this distinguished fellowship, she will pursue a year of graduate study in Ireland at Trinity College Dublin.

MIT research shows that in people carrying the APOE4 risk variant, a key brain cell type mismanages cholesterol needed to insulate neurons properly — another sign that APOE4 contributes to Alzheimer's disease by disrupting lipids in the brain.

The MIT School of Science and the MIT Libraries awarded the inaugural MIT Prize for Open Data to 10 research projects that made data openly accessible and reusable.

The brains of the seemingly simple zebrafish are more sophisticated than previously thought, according to a new study. The researchers found larval zebrafish can use visual information to create three-dimensional maps of their physical surroundings.

When people carry the Alzheimer's associated APOE4 gene, oligodendrocytes fail to transport fatty molecules to wrap neurons that make brain circuitry connections. This deficit of myelin may contribute to the pathology and symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

MIT Professor Ila Fiete received the Society for Neuroscience's Swartz Prize for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience for her breakthrough research modeling hippocampal grid cells.

Knocking out the immune cytokine IL-6 exacerbates symptoms in HD model mice and affects neural connection genes, a new study finds.

Me on Wednesday: I should never, ever, ever listen to myself when I have an idea. Ever. I know this, and yet, I fall for it over and over, again.
