MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain Research

MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research is a scientific center dedicated to understanding how the brain works and applying that knowledge to improve health. Researchers study brain functions related to memory, perception, and decision-making, and they investigate neurological and psychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer’s, autism, and depression. The institute combines interdisciplinary approaches, including neuroscience, engineering, and computer science, to develop new treatments and technologies. Its goal is to uncover fundamental brain mechanisms and translate discoveries into real-world solutions for mental health and neurological conditions.
