MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

In a scientific first, researchers from around 29 universities and institutions across North America have teamed up to create a large, versatile, and effective arsenal of new biological tools that ...

A pilot program of Brain Waves RI is giving students a more intensive look at the human brain and how it works. Right now, it's in two schools in Rhode Island: St. Mary's Academy Bay View and Central ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are emerging assistive devices that may one day help people with brain or spinal injuries to move or communicate. BCI systems ...

Psychedelics have therapeutic potential but face hurdles in safety and scalability. Targeted neurotherapeutics could be the ...

As you read this story, your brain’s cells are generating electrical currents that emit infinitesimally small magnetic fields. Now, Virginia Tech scientists can measure them using a new brain imaging ...

I’ve been thinking a lot over the years about why mainstream medicine has eschewed neurostimulation and neuromodulation for treating brain injury and other brain issues. Since my university days, I’ve ...

A new kind of neural interface system that coordinates the activity of hundreds of tiny brain sensors could one day deepen understanding of the brain and lead to new medical therapies. Brain-computer ...

The human brain is much more efficient than the world’s most powerful computers. A human brain with an average volume of about 1,260cm 3 consumes about 12W (watts) of power. Using this biological ...

Teens talk about their “brain rot” online. While there isn’t data to back it up, per se, experts do have concerns about the effect on kids and adults.
