Visually observing neural activity in freely moving animals requires identifying and tracking cells as they move. In eLife, the Flavell lab describes deep neural networks to enable this in a nematode worm (and applies some to jellyfish too!). elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr… #neuroscience
Turns out words and sentences are memorable for similar reasons: unique meanings! @GretaTuckute @thomashikaru @kmahowald
What makes some sentences more memorable than others? Our new paper gathers memorability norms for 2500 sentences using a recognition paradigm, building on past work in visual and word memorability. @GretaTuckute @bj_mdn @ev_fedorenko
Congratulations to @linlinzfan on earning a @BBRFoundation Young Investigator grant! 'Using all-optical methods, Fan’s lab will study whether and how serotonin modulates plasticity. bbrfoundation.org/content/brain-… #neuroscience #memory
Words and sentences that are highly dissimilar from anything we’ve seen before are more likely to be remembered accurately, according to research from @ev_fedorenko @GretaTuckute @bj_mdn @thomashikaru @LanguageMIT. mcgovern.mit.edu/2025/10/01/mit… @mitbrainandcog @ScienceMIT
"We found pretty strikingly that when we treated these cells with choline, a lot of the transcriptional defects were reversed," says Djuna von Maydell, @mitbrainandcog graduate student news.mit.edu/2025/study-exp…
Media Lab Prof. Hugh Herr, head of the Biomechatronics research group, and Prof. @nidhi_s91 of @mitbrainandcog have received an MIT HEALS Innovator Grant. Professors Herr and Seethapathi are also associated with @mcgovernmit. media.mit.edu/posts/hugh-her…
In a new @ScienceAdvances study, McGovern researchers report that people with musical 🎵 training may be better than others at filtering out distracting sounds. @ScienceMIT @mitbrainandcog @gabrieli_john mcgovern.mit.edu/2025/09/19/mus…
As an object moves across your field of view, the brain seamlessly hands off visual processing from one hemisphere to the other like cell phone towers or relay racers do, a new study by @MillerLabMIT in @SfNjournals shows. picower.mit.edu/news/how-brain… #neuroscience @mitbrainandcog
Congrats to McGovern grad students Camille Mitchell, Chris Shallal, and Nikasha Patel on being selected as inaugural recipients of the 2025-26 MIT HEALS Fellowship! The program supports "bold, cross-disciplinary thinkers tackling major challenges in health and life sciences." 🥳
Congratulations to BCS Professor Nidhi Seethapathi! She was named one of this year’s 35 Innovators Under 35 by @techreview for developing a new computer model for human movement that has the potential to lead to better exoskeleton suits, prosthetics, and rehab technology.
Introducing: This year's list of 35 Innovators Under 35. Every year, MIT Technology Review recognizes 35 extraordinary young people brimming with ideas for how to crack tough problems—all of whom are under the age of 35. Get to know them all: trib.al/5cVFFbL
A sweeping study by MIT researchers shows the importance of understanding #Alzheimers disease as a battle over how well brain cells regulate the expression of their genes. picower.mit.edu/news/alzheimer… #epigenomics @ScienceMIT @AgingBrainMIT @mitbrainandcog @MIT_CSAIL
🪼Excited for our investigator Brady Weissbourd who will study how jellyfish larvae sense and use environmental cues to explore and decide where to settle, offering insights into marine population dynamics, invasive species control, and the neural basis of decisions in early life
The Kavli Foundation & @NSF announce four new NiCE grants to study how brains adapt to a changing world - linking genes, cells, behavior, and ecosystems. From bees to bats to jellyfish, check out the 2025 awardees here: bit.ly/4fYz8vK #KavliNeuro #Neuroscience
How do we know our experiences, emotions + physical sensations belong to us? How does the brain generate a sense of self? Researchers in Fan Wang's lab are using the tools of neuroscience to tackle these thorny philosophical questions. @mitbrainandcog mcgovern.mit.edu/2025/09/02/sea…

If your brain is an organ that controls your body, how is it also the source of your thoughts, feelings, and personality? @mitbrainandcog Prof. Nancy Kanwisher explains. Explore the secrets of the mind in her course on MIT Learn: bit.ly/4mtfFpb
Study: Babies' poor vision early in life may contribute to the development of key pathways in the brain’s visual system: bcs.mit.edu/news/study-bab…
Congrats to molecular biologist Feng Zhang @zhangf for being elected to @EMBO membership! He is among 69 new members recognized for their outstanding contributions to life sciences. 🍾 @mitbrainandcog @ScienceMIT mcgovern.mit.edu/2025/07/01/fen…
