Estimating suicide risk from text (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When people reach out during a mental health crisis, a top priority for counselors is identifying those with a high risk of suicide. The distressed person’s language holds critical clues, and a new tool developed by scientists at MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research is designed to pick up on and rapidly evaluate those signals. The language-processing tool was developed by Daniel Low, a former graduate student in Senior Research Scientist Satra Ghosh’s Senseable Intelligence Group who is n
DNA shaper steers nervous system development (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A functional nervous system depends on the cooperation of many kinds of cells. So as developing organisms build their nervous systems, their neurons must take on different forms and functions to fulfill their designated roles. That carefully orchestrated process gives rise to thousands of different cell types in the human brain. In the tiny worm known as C. elegans, the nervous system is far simpler, comprising a mere 118 classes of neurons. At MIT, scientists in H. Robert Horvitz’s lab are stud
How visual learning happens in the brain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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 for Brain Research and York University in Toronto, Ontario, scientists are combining detailed analysis of brain activity with computational modeling to better understand that change. McGovern Institute postdoc Lynn Sörensen, McGovern investigator and MIT Professor James DiCarlo, and York University Assistant Professor Kohit
Separating logic and language (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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 for Brain Research say. In research published this week in the journal PNAS, researchers led by MIT associate professor of brain and cognitive sciences Evelina Fedorenko have shown that people can perform well on tasks that require logical reasoning even if their language abilities are severely impaired. What’s more, brain imaging s
The brain’s internal ruler (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you are crossing an unfamiliar room in the dark, you may grope around a bit to get a sense of your space. But for many animals, feeling out a space comes more naturally. A mouse, for instance, can efficiently navigate in the dark just by grazing its whiskers against walls and other obstacles. Fan Wang, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences and an investigator at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, has discovered how neurons in a mouse’s brainstem use signals from the anima
