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.

Bess Frost, the Salame-Feraud Director of the Center for Alzheimer’s Disease Research, wins the 2025 Rainwater Prize for Innovative Early-Career Scientist.

The lab of Michael Frank has reconciled theories of how humans store and retrieve information in the short-term, a process called working memory, in a new biologically-inspired computational model. The findings have implications for dopamine-related disorders like Parkinson’s disease, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and schizophrenia.

"Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain," written by three Brown brain scientists and the first college neuroscience textbook, turns 30 this year and heads into its fifth edition. Through its 1,000-plus pages, they have taught a generation, shaped careers and college programs, and traced the arc of progress in the field.

Translational brain scientists share their research vision, and business pitches, at the economic development event.

Karla Kaun argues that addiction researchers should talk about their work in their everyday lives. Those conversations can shape how drug, tobacco and alcohol use is studied in labs, taught in schools, treated in clinics and shaped by policy. Brown addiction researchers have a track record of success in exerting the influence of evidence.
