Genetically modified nematodes provide a new disease model to screen potential treatments for a rare neurogenetic disorder that has no cure.

Three trainee-led startups are on a mission to fight Alzheimer's disease.

This year’s awardees are making key contributions to the study of addiction, ALS, Alzheimer’s disease, anxiety and traumatic injury.

New research shows that AI language models can develop a mathematical “understanding” that differentiates between events that are commonplace, improbable, impossible or just plain nonsense.

Researchers at Brown’s Carney Institute for Brain Science identified a pair of neurons that integrate sweet and bitter signals to decide whether something is safe to eat.

The findings could help clinicians use neuropsychiatric symptoms to prepare patients and families for a type of dementia previously only diagnosed via autopsy.

Implantable device research from the BrainGate clinical trial enables communication through rapid typing for a patient with ALS and a patient with a spinal cord injury.

In new results from a clinical trial, researchers show that electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can restore the muscle control and sensory feedback required for coordinated walking movements.

Chelsie Benca-Bachman used the Advancing Research Careers program to study the relationship between sleep and PTSD.

Researchers found differences in how brain regions work together during certain cognitive tasks, which may help clinicians more effectively treat and assess obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Donoghue was awarded the prize, considered among the most prestigious honors in engineering, for pioneering work in developing brain-computer interfaces, which enable the restoration of voluntary comm...

The National Institute on Aging has selected 21 finalists and 39 mentors for Stage 1 of the 2025 Start-Up Challenge and Accelerator.

Over the fall semester, prestigious national and international organizations recognized Brown faculty for their research, service, scholarship and leadership.

The Bioluminescence Hub at Brown, a collaborative team of neuroscientists from around the U.S., found a way to harness light to safely and effectively measure activity in living brain cells.

Alice Lin, Vanessa Rivera Núñez, Alisa Salazar, Lewis Núñez Severino and Zachary Uttke presented on findings that will advance research into Alzheimer's disease, developmental disorders, an epilepsy s...

Deep-learning approaches using massive data have transformed AI and are reshaping science. We ask when AI foundation models will transform neuroscience, outlining critical success conditions and a shi...

The mental machinery that helps us spread rumors also helps us thrive in an interconnected world.

By working to understand how new AI systems integrate flexible and incremental learning, researchers gained insights about the human brain.

Graduate students from Brown University and Ben-Gurion University put their brains together in a unique summer practicum to invent and pitch ideas for neurotechnology startups.

Researchers from Brown’s Carney Institute will investigate how the blood-brain barrier is involved in transmitting information to the brain, informing potential treatments for brain diseases and disor...

Knowledge trumps popularity in the long haul of trying to be influential, researchers say

A team of Brown University researchers has identified a promising new approach that may one day help to restore vision in people affected by macular degeneration and other retinal disorders.

The first clinical trials are testing inhibitors of transposons, DNA sequences that hop around the genome on their own

Carney scientists have discovered that the part of the cerebral cortex that processes smell is similar in mice, reptiles and amphibians–a surprising finding that rewrites the story about the evolution...

Neural underpinnings of vocalization in zebra finches and budgerigars.

Insights into the biology of addiction and their potential translation into advances in therapy are discussed.

With the launch, Brown becomes one of a handful of U.S. universities with an undergraduate curriculum that marries neuroscience with computer science and math.

The utility of generative AI tools is expanding far beyond simple summarisation and grammar support towards more sophisticated, pedagogical applications.

In a new study, researchers from Brown University found that dopamine levels have effects on working memory, including short term memory.

New findings from scientists from the Carney Institute for Brian Science explain memory limits and shed light on dopamine-related disorders such as Parkinson’s, ADHD and schizophrenia.
