Two new studies from MIT and the University of Massachusetts Medical School shed more light on why mothers who experience an infection severe enough to require hospitalization during pregnancy are at higher risk of having a child with autism.
Autism | Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMIT researchers have devised a new drug-delivering nanoparticle that could offer a better way to treat Glioblastoma multiforme, a type of brain tumor.
University Research | Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Brain Tumors | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMany cognitive processes, such as decision-making, take place within seconds or minutes. Neuroscientists have longed to capture neuron activity during such tasks, but that dream has remained elusive — until now.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyBy exposing mice to a unique combination of light and sound, MIT neuroscientists have shown that they can improve cognitive and memory impairments similar to those seen in Alzheimer’s patients.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyTumors called high-grade gliomas wire themselves into the healthy brain, receiving and interpreting electrical signals from normal neurons, a Stanford study has found.
