The wiring and rewiring of the brain never ends. Neural pathways are constantly being reshaped as we interact with the world and learn new things. At MIT’s McGovern Institute and York University in Toronto, scientists are combining detailed analysis of brain activity with computational modeling to better understand that change.

Some people find it useful to talk through their problems—but language isn’t necessary for logical reasoning, cognitive neuroscientists at MIT’s McGovern Institute say. In research
For decades, neuroscientists have known that specific regions in the brain’s left hemisphere are responsible for processing language. However, a new study from MIT shows that language processing also occurs in many other parts of the brain.
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from more than 700 people, the researchers identified 17 additional region...
MIT has appointed McGovern faculty members Sven Dorkenwald and Josh McDermott to named professorships that will provide additional support for their “outstanding r...
