(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)High-resolution ex vivo magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) can be used to delineate prominent architectonic features in the human brain, but increased contrast is required to visualize more subtle distinctions. The goal ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Metastasis, the spread and growth of tumor cells from the primary site to distant organs, is arguably the most devastating and deadly attribute of cancer, and is ultimately responsible for 90% of cancer-related deaths. ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Understanding intensity coding and auditory learning are basic concerns of research on the auditory central pathway. There is no unifying model of intensity coding but several mechanisms have been proposed to play a role. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Layer-by-layer assembly has become a quintessential tool for the creation of versatile, dynamic nanostructured materials able to dictate cellular behavior through exquisite surface functionality and delivery of bioactive ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Traditional representations of speech are derived from short-time segments of the signal and result in time-frequency distributions of energy such as the short-time Fourier transform and spectrogram. Speech-signal models ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Cochlear implants are prosthetic devices that seek to restore hearing in profoundly deaf patients by electrically stimulating the auditory-nerve (AN). With current implants, the representation of the sound waveform in ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Transitive inference (TI) refers to inferences on relations between items based on other known relations of those items. Using a paradigm where participants first learn a series of four overlapping pairs that constitute ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Efforts to sequence cancer genomes have begun to uncover comprehensive lists of genes altered in cancer. Unfortunately, the number and complexity of identified alterations has made dissecting the underlying biology of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In addition to cancer cells, solid tumors consist of a variety of cell types and tissues defining a complex microenvironment that influences disease progression and response to therapy. To fully characterize and probe the ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The delivery of nucleic acids has the potential to revolutionize medicine by allowing previously untreatable diseases to be clinically addressed. Viral delivery systems have been held back by immunogenicity and toxicity ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Biological membranes form transient, conductive pores in response to elevated transmembrane voltage, a phenomenon termed electroporation. These pores facilitate electrical and molecular transport across cell membranes that ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The ease of targeted genetic modification makes the mouse a valuable model to study hearing and deafness. A powerful window into cochlear function can be obtained by recording from single auditory (AN) fibers, primary ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) is a brainstem-based neural feedback circuit by which mammals adaptively adjust the gain of their ears in response to changing environmental conditions. Activating the reflex with ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Polyethylene wear is a significant clinical problem limiting the long-term survival of joint replacement prostheses, particularly in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Although the tribology ...
