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.

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 ...

Studies have shown that in ALS patients, microtubules—which are the major component of the cell cytoskeleton and serve as tracks for transporting components from cell bodies to neuronal ...

The year 2022 has been declared by Pedro Sanchez, President of Spain, as the Year of Ramon y Cajal on the 170th anniversary of his birth. Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience is celebrating it by ...
