Warmest wishes this holiday season from your friends at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT.
Our researchers and staff are an amazing bunch of individuals. To thank them for their efforts this past year, we gave them “magic mugs” — they’re quite a hit.
Feng Zhang, a member of the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, is designing new molecular tools for manipulating the living brain. As a student, he played a major role in the development of optogenetics, a technology by which the brain’s electrical activity can be controlled with light-sensitive proteins. He is now working to […]

New design technique could enable personalized medicine, studies of brain wiring.
John Gabrieli, a member of the McGovern Institute for Brain Research, uses brain imaging and behavioral tests to understand the organization of memory, thought, and emotion in the human brain. [Stock footage: pond5, Elekta Instrument AB] Read more about John Gabrieli here.
Guoping Feng, an investigator at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, studies the development and function of synapses and their disruption in brain disorders. He uses molecular genetics combined with behavioral and electrophysiological methods to study the molecular components of the synapse and to understand how disruptions in these components can lead to […]
James DiCarlo, an investigator at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, examines the complex network of brain regions that allow us to recognize vast numbers of objects rapidly and effortlessly. [Stock footage: pond5, Elekta Instrument AB] Read more about James DiCarlo here.
