Place cells are neurons in the brain’s memory center, the hippocampus, that help the brain keep track of the body’s location in space. Arrays of these cells form a cognitive map, firing off electrical ...

For the first time, a new ultrasound technique allows researchers to stimulate multiple locations in the brain simultaneously. This opens up new possibilities for treating devastating brain diseases ...

Bioengineers have developed a noninvasive tool to measure gene expression and gene therapy delivery in specific brain regions using ultrasound. Bioengineers have developed a noninvasive tool to ...

Neuroscientists solve the "cocktail party problem," proving that neural amplification of vocal features like pitch and ...

Isaiah Kletenik, MD, and Julian Kutsche, of the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics within the Mass General Brigham Neuroscience Institute, are the senior and lead authors of a paper published in ...

When you're mentally exhausted, your brain might be doing more behind the scenes than you think. In a new study using functional MRI, researchers uncovered two key brain regions that activate when ...

A research team led by a three-time recipient of BBRF grants has successfully tested a method of using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive method of brain stimulation, to activate ...
