Using organoids to model early development, researchers used an emerging microscopy technology to see that new neurons struggled to reach their developmental destination in Rett syndrome lab models.

With organoids to model initial development, scientists employed a developing microscopy technology to observe that new neurons struggled to attain their developmental goal.

Using an innovative microscopy method, scientists at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT observed how newborn neurons struggle to reach their proper places in advanced human brain tissue models of Rett syndrome, producing new insight into how developmental deficits observed in the brains of patients with the devastating disorder may emerge.

To enable the cortex to consciously, but rapidly, switch from running to stop at just the right time, a brain circuit is wired such that the operation becomes one of differentiation, rather than integration, says an MIT study.

Researchers reveal how neurons set up and sustain the vital infrastructure that allows for seamless neurotransmission.

New MIT findings reveal how neurons build and maintain their capacity to communicate. Nerve cells regulate and routinely refresh the collection of calcium channels that enable them to send messages across circuit connections.

In a study of speakers of 45 languages, researchers found similar patterns of brain activity and language selectivity.

Using brain scans on speakers of 45 different languages, scientists have shown that language networks appear to all be essentially the same as those of native English speakers.
