Researchers in the Serre lab are teaching AI to see more like humans, opening doors to more accurate AI solutions.

Alvin Huang was named 2025 NIA Start-Up Challenge Finalist for his Acre Therapeutics.

The research of Bess Frost and John Sedivy is featured in this Science publication on retrotransposons.

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 of the mammalian brain.

With a storied past stretching back more than a century, the Department of Cognitive and Psychological Sciences is stepping into its future.

Creating science tools – software to sensors, models to molecules – is a powerful way Carney Institute researchers make a global impact on brain science.

Eight projects will be supported this year, with four fueling research at the Center for Alzheimer’s Disease Research. Each represents bold, promising brain science at Brown.

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.

Researchers led by a team from the Carney Institute have discovered a new role for a protein that helps control muscle contractions – a finding that points to a new target for drugs that treat muscle weakening caused by aging or disease.

New faculty member Anda Chirila is no stranger to Brown. In the lab of former Carney affiliate Julie Kauer, Chirila earned a PhD studying synaptic signaling and how it contributes to pain. Now, she is advancing work she began as a postdoc at Harvard: integrating molecular-genetic tools and electrophysiology with computational, anatomical and behavioral approaches to study circuits involved in touch and pain processing.
