Brain science tools have advanced in several distinct directions. Advanced tools in molecular biology now allow neuroscientists to study distinct patterns of gene expression in individual neural cells, leading to the potential for a comprehensive atlas of cell types. In parallel, tools that allow...

Novel PET Radiotracer Offers Possible ‘Smell Test’ for Dementia
Olfactory health – how well we are able to smell – is a reliable marker of the health of the brain, but the “smell identification tests” commonly used in studies of olfactory health do not offer a complete picture of what is happening. Now, using a novel PET radiotracer called Neuroflux, a team o...

As an MGH Research Scholar, Brian Edlow Will Pursue Detection of ‘Covert Consciousness’ in the ICU
Martinos researcher Brian Edlow, MD has been announced as a 2023 MGH Research Scholar. The five-year funding accompanying the honor will support his project, “Detecting Covert Consciousness in the Intensive Care Unit.” Every year, more than one million people across the globe are impacted by sev...
It’s All about Teamwork: The Center’s Shahin Nasr on his breakthrough findings in the visual system
A research team at the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging has shed new light on the fine-scale organization of human visual cortex. Scientists have long sought deeper understandings of how different visual features (e.g., color, motion and depth) were encoded within the visual system, bu...

Study Confirms Role of Structural Connectivity in Spread of Alzheimer’s Disease Pathology
In Alzheimer’s, the proteins amyloid-beta and tau begin to accumulate in the brain many years before any clinical signs of the disease are evident. Propagation of these proteins throughout the brain has been linked to cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s, but exactly how they spread has long been a m...
