A new breakthrough technology, co-developed by UCL scientists, that simultaneously records and manipulates neuron activity ...

One of the defining features of humans is our brain's remarkable capacity for language, planning, memory, creativity, and more. These abilities stem not just from our large brain size, but also from ...

Researchers launch Neuropixels Opto, integrating electrophysiology and optogenetics on a single hair-thin probe.

The outer regions of the brain, the cortex, have specific layers of different cells—neurons—that are similarly ordered among all mammals, from tiny mouse brains to huge elephant brains. However, the ...

Researchers have discovered a new way that brain plasticity is controlled in early life, offering insight into the ...

Obtaining prefrontal cortex biopsies during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in living patients does not increase the risk of adverse events or cognitive decline compared to standard DBS ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Obtaining prefrontal cortex biopsies during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in living patients does not increase the risk of adverse events or cognitive decline compared to standard DBS ...

Ever wake at night needing a drink of water and then find your way to the kitchen in the dark without stubbing your toe? Researchers at the University of California, San Diego say they have identified ...

Scientists have discovered that the brain’s sensory systems play a much larger role in speech learning than previously believed.

A paralyzed patient nearly matched the words per minute the average person can type on their phone, with 95% accuracy. See ...
