McGovern researchers create unexpected new approaches to microscopy that are changing the way scientists look at the brain. Ask McGovern Investigator Ed Boyden about his ten-year plan and you’ll get an immediate and straight-faced answer: “We would like to understand the brain.” He means it. Boyden intends to map all of the cells in a […]
A collaborative study between researchers from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the National Center for Biotechnology Information of the National Institutes of Health (NIH-NCBI) has identified a highly efficient Cas9 nuclease that overcomes one of the primary challenges to in vivo genome editing. This finding, published today in […]
Dr. Charles Gilbert of The Rockefeller University delivers the annual Scolnick Prize Lecture on Friday, March 20, 2015.
Theories of motor control have advanced the idea that the brain uses internal models to generate reliable motor commands and predict the sensory consequences of those commands. More recently, the concept of internal models has been used to formalize the computations that bear on cognitive control in an uncertain and dynamic environment. In this symposium, […]
