Recent technological advances have opened new exciting possibilities for the development of smart prosthetics, such as artificial limbs, joints or organs that can replace injured, damaged or amputated ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate ...

The Wiley Foundation honored research into connectomes — detailed atlases of the brain that map out thousands of neurons and ...

In the ChatGPT era, a war over the nature of intelligence is playing out. Chris Stokel-Walker explores a Princeton ...

Memories are thought to be stored in sparse groups of neurons called engrams. These are the cells that switch on during learning and can later switch on again during recall. In physiological aging and ...

This breathtaking clue about the architecture of consciousness supports a Nobel-Prize winner’s theory about how quantum physics works in your brain.

A biomimetic synapse built from water droplets and biological ion channels achieves synaptic plasticity and performs machine learning tasks.

Life Biosciences is pushing cellular rejuvenation into the clinic with ER-100, an experimental gene ...

The team of researchers led by Prof. Kristian Franze found that increasing tissue stiffness induces the expression of chemical signals that are typically absent in those regions. Semaphorin 3A is one ...

Scientists identified the gene-expression profile of sleeping nociceptors, sensory neurons that drive spontaneous neuropathic ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate communication network is built of billions of neurons connected by synapses ...

New research demonstrates that electroacupuncture can significantly alleviate pain-induced anxiety- and depression-like behaviors by modulating specific excitatory neurons in the brain. Using a mouse ...
