A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.
Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...
Scientists have successfully connected living human brain cells to a computer system and taught them to interact with the classic video game DOOM. The strange experiment marks a new step toward ...
A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...
The brain relies on real-time delivery of oxygen and nutrients through its microvasculature, which threads through neural ...
Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...
"If the neurons fire in a specific pattern, the Doom guy shoots." The post Researchers Get Human Brain Cells Running Doom ...
Until now, conventional 3D cell cultures have often been either too rigid or too unstable to realistically reproduce the complex interactions between brain cells. Researchers at Kiel University (CAU) ...
A team led by Professor Inkyung Jung from the Department of Biological Sciences at KAIST, working with Professor Yarui Diao’s ...
Researchers found a rare, strictly binary brain feature in mice that is permanently active in females but completely dormant ...
