Welcome to the McGovern Institute

The McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT is led by a team of world-renowned neuroscientists committed to meeting two great challenges of modern science: understanding how the brain works and discovering new ways to prevent and treat brain disorders.

This twenty-minute video provides viewers with an intimate tour of the McGovern Institute -- from our lab benches to our brain imaging center -- and it explores the tools and technologies our scientists are using to unlock the mystery of the human brain.
