Neurons communicate electrically, so to understand how they produce brain functions such as memory, neuroscientists must track how their voltage changes—sometimes subtly—on the timescale of milliseconds. In a new paper in Nature Communications, MIT researchers describe a novel image sensor with the capability to substantially increase that ability.
For the 10th consecutive year, MIT ranks No. 2 among all colleges and No. 1 among colleges with one main campus in the number of patents granted. MIT's Technology Licensing Office (TLO) bridges groundbreaking research to societal impact through patents and innovation.
Boston MA (SPX) Feb 02, 2024 - Using a novel microscopy technique, MIT and Brigham and Women's Hospital/Harvard Medical School researchers have imaged human brain tissue in greater detail than ever before, revealing cells and str
Brigham and MIT researchers uncovered never-before-seen details in human brain tissue with new, inexpensive microscopy technology.
Using a microscopy technique known as expansion-mediated protein decrowding, researchers imaged human brain tissue in greater detail than ever before, revealing cells and structures that were not previously visible. They discovered some brain tumors called gliomas contain many more putative aggressive tumor cells than expected.
