Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

Research into mice from UT Southwestern and other institutions shows brain cells help the body run farther and faster.

Scientists have created a super-map of the brain containing 30 million cells to trace the prenatal origins of diseases.

Miami teams are exploring stem‑cell neuron replacement for Parkinson’s — early signs are promising but still experimental.

The next surprise was that human organoids just kept growing. Mouse organoids were done with making neurons within nine days.

The origins of Alzheimer's remain contentious, but a new study suggests the disease may emerge as two key proteins compete ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

In A Nutshell Scientists reprogrammed skin cells from children with Sanfilippo syndrome into lab-grown brain cells and found ...

Scientists in Canada have uncovered a surprising weakness in glioblastoma, one of the deadliest brain cancers. They found ...

How does brain metabolism affect aging? Researchers received a $3.3M NIH grant to study neurometabolic coupling and Alzheimer ...

Place cells are neurons in the brain’s memory center, the hippocampus, that help the brain keep track of the body’s location in space. Arrays of these cells form a cognitive map, firing off electrical ...
