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...
The Neuroscience of Personal Space
We all have a need for personal space, the comfort zone we maintain around our bodies, implicitly entreating others not to encroach upon it. In recent years researchers have been probing the ways in which we regulate this space, looking at how and why our brains tell us when someone is simply ...

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...

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...
