New in nature from Sur Lab: Well timed and located releases of noradrenaline within the brain facilitate task execution and encoding reinforcement to improve performance accuracy picower.mit.edu/news/how-brain… Vincent Breton-Provencher Gabi Drummond MIT Science MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences #neuroscience


Thanks to Torah Kachur who made this science column for CBC Radio summarizing our recent paper perfectly! Gabi Drummond Sur Lab cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…


Running to catch the bus? The brain is wired for the rapid calculus needed to bring you to a halt right at the doors before they close, a new Sur Lab study in Cell Reports suggests. picower.mit.edu/news/sprint-th… #neuroscience MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences MIT Science

New in eLife - the journal: In organoids modeling Rett syndrome, MIT researchers used an advanced form of three-photon microscopy to observe that newborn neurons struggle to migrate properly. picower.mit.edu/news/advanced-… #neurosciencd MIT Science #rettsyndrome


The Sur Lab is pleased to be celebrating the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory's 20th anniversary! Many thanks to all involved for an outstanding symposium MIT Picower Institute web.mit.edu/webcast/picowe…



The brain uses basic calculus to quickly halt fast movements — a surprisingly clever way to control behaviors that need to be more precise than the commands from the brain can be. Kevin Hartnett reports: quantamagazine.org/the-brain-uses…





New in SfN Journals from Sur Lab: Astrocytes play a crucial partnership role with motor cortex neurons as they encode learning of skilled movement tasks. picower.mit.edu/news/astrocyte… MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences MIT Science #neuroscience #MIT Jennifer Shih Chloé Delépine

Today's FDA approval of #Trofinetide could bring new, much needed hope to many with #Rettsyndrome and their families. In 2009 Sur Lab made the first preclinical showing that IGF-1 could have therapeutic potential. picower.mit.edu/news/3-questio… @mit @mitscience MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences

😀A wonderful day here Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as scores of friends and alumni of Sur Lab gathered to celebrate the incomparable ongoing career, mentorship and leadership of Mriganka Sur. MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences MIT Science #neuroscience #MIT



📢 Introducing Our Speakers We’re excited to hear from Prof. Mriganka Sur, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), on the subject, ‘The basic neuroscience of neurodevelopmental disorders and the discovery of mechanism-based therapeutics’ at #Frommoleculestomind. #neurotwitter
