The new device, developed by researchers at Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, changes that by conforming to the organoid’s curved shape. It begins as a flat, flexible lattice and ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's ...

A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

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 ...

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 study presents a bio-inspired control framework for soft robots, enhancing tracking accuracy by over 44% under disturbances while maintaining stability.

The neuron’s inner scaffold, once viewed as static support, now looks like a gatekeeper. Research findings are available online in the journal Science Advances. The original story “ ‘Gatekeeper’ ...

Researchers discovered that a lattice-like skeleton beneath neuron membranes regulates endocytosis, controlling nutrient and protein uptake.

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them - signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces - in a process known as endocytosis that is ...
