A new study in Neuron reveals that the brain’s executive center sends highly specialized, context-dependent instructions to ...

MIT scientists found that what we see is strongly influenced by how alert or active we are. Parts of the brain responsible ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, ...

New research shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t simply broadcast generic commands to sensory regions—it sends finely tailored signals that shape how the brain processes vision depending on ...

This valuable study addresses a critical and timely question regarding the role of a subpopulation of cortical interneurons (Chrna2-expressing Martinotti cells) in motor learning and cortical dynamics ...

MIT researchers discovered that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t just send generic control signals—it tailors its messages to ...
