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 ...

The human brain is complex. Understanding deep brain function usually requires the insertion of probes that frequently result in irreversible tissue damage. Current neural probes are made out of ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

Rice University neuroscientist Chong Xie leads a team that has won a $2.9 million grant from the NIH to develop a state-of-the-art implantable neural electrode system. HOUSTON – (July 17, 2024) – Rice ...

University of Toronto researchers have developed a flexible, biodegradable electrode capable of stimulating neural precursor cells (NPCs) in the brain—a device capable of delivering targeted ...

Find out how stainless steel neural probes reduce brain damage risks while enabling safer, deeper, and more reliable neural ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. They say the approach could be ...

The brain is probably the least explored organ, much of which is due to the difficulty of studying it in situ rather than in slices under a microscope. Even growing small organoids out of neurons ...
