Brain-computer interfaces have enabled people with paralysis to move a computer cursor with their mind and reanimate their ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers or fading signals. The advance makes it possible to watch individual brain ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dr. Lance B. Eliot is a world-renowned AI scientist and consultant. In today’s column, I analyze the recently announced ...

Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive disorders, including autism. But ethical questions loom. Brain organoids, which ...

Brain tumors have long been treated as rogue invaders: growing, spreading, and resisting treatment on their own. But new research suggests something far more unsettling: some brain tumors may actually ...

Understanding how new neurons affect brain function throughout adulthood can offer new approaches to treating epilepsy and dementia. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

A new study published in the journal Cell Reports reveals that the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits—an insight that challenges long-held beliefs about adult ...

A new Yale study has revealed that neurons — the energy-hungry cells that connect and direct activity in the brain — are equipped with “backup batteries” that kick in to keep the brain running during ...

William Wright receives funding from National Institutes of Health (NINDS) and the Schmidt Sciences. Takaki Komiyama receives funding from NIH, NSF, Simons Foundation, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and ...
