New findings reveal that certain areas of the brain influence how neurons transmit signals and control their range.

For more than a decade, neuroscientists had recordings from monkey brains learning to sort visual patterns. They had analyzed ...

Researchers have created a 3D programmable device merging living neurons with flexible electronics, achieving high-efficiency ...

In a town on the shores of Lake Geneva sit clumps of living human brain cells for hire. These blobs, about the size of a grain of sand, can receive electrical signals and respond to them — much as ...

No, this isn’t science fiction. Real-life researchers taught a dish of roughly 200,000 living human brain cells to play the classic 1990s computer game “Doom.” Experts at Cortical Labs, an Australian ...

An integrated spiking artificial neuron, with rich neuron functionality, single-transistor footprints, and low energy consumption for neuromorphic computing systems, can be created by stacking one ...

Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte, and for a long time, scientists thought its job was caretaking the brain, ...

Scientists have finally cracked one of the biggest mysteries in the senses: how smell is organized. By mapping millions of ...

A man who hasn’t been able to move or speak for years imagines picking up a cup and filling it with water. In response to the man’s thoughts, a robotic arm mounted on his wheelchair glides forward, ...

Brandon Patterson has been through a lot in the nine years since rolling a Jeep left him paralyzed. Now he's on the leading edge of science.
