In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly.

For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to uncover the neural processes that allow humans and various other animals to ...

Researchers developed tiny wearable devices for cells that can snugly enfold neurons and neuronal processes without damaging the cell. These thin-film wearables, made from a soft polymer, could enable ...

In a recent Communications Chemistry article, researchers presented a novel approach to interfacing with neuronal structures using light-responsive azobenzene polymer thin films. Image Credit: ...

Researchers describe the neural processes behind how morphine relieves pain. This is valuable knowledge because the drug has such serious side effects. In a study published in Science, researchers at ...

A new study probing quantum phenomena in neurons as they transmit messages in the brain could provide fresh insight into how our brains function. Our brains process information via a vast network ...

Brett Kagan, Chief Scientific Officer at Cortical Labs, commented: “This breakthrough is a major step forward in not only how we study and understand diseases and drugs that are designed to treat ...

Neuroplasticity and development have traditionally focused on synaptic mechanisms as the primary substrates of circuit remodeling. However, recent advances ...

Miraculously, our brain is able to recall images of things we had seen in the past in a way that still feels real. A study led by Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University, published in the journal ...

Biobots, whose growing line of variants started with xenobots, are fascinating tiny self-powered living robots built exclusively using frog embryonic cells. Originally developed in the laboratories of ...
