Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

All over the body are tiny sensors called nociceptors whose job is to spot potentially harmful stimuli and send warning ...

A salt-grain-sized neural implant can record and transmit brain activity wirelessly for extended periods. Researchers at Cornell University, working with collaborators, have created an extremely small ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their behavior.

Scientists engineered the first fully synthetic brain tissue model. It’s fully functional brain tissue that they can use to test neurological drugs. They believe the discovery will lead them to better ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...

In a powerful fusion of AI and neuroscience, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and at the Allen Institute have created one of the most detailed maps of the mouse brain ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Durotomy is a common neurosurgical complication involving a tear in the dura mater, the protective membrane surrounding the ...
