University of Missouri researchers are developing new ways to better simulate the complex nature of human brain tissue. For years, scientists have worked to uncover how the brain responds to ...

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

A 3D model accurately mimicking the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) in a laboratory environment has been successfully developed by research teams led by Professor Jinah Jang from the Departments of ...

Cerebrovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and stroke remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A common feature of these diseases is vascular stenosis, i.e., the narrowing of ...

Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology enables the direct interaction between brain signals and external devices, helping people with neurologic injury communicate with or control real or virtual ...

Neurons are the cells in the brain responsible for sending messages to the rest of the body, and scientists have long thought that they are settled into one subtype once they develop from stem cells, ...

The advent of high-density recording technologies, such as Neuropixels and large-scale calcium imaging, has provided an unprecedented look into the ...

Scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that they say could help scientists better understand, prevent, and treat cognitive ...

A ground-breaking study shows the most detailed map of a mammal's brain to date. The 3D blueprints display more than two miles of neural wiring, close to 100,000 nerve cells, and about 500 million ...
