While the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia are still largely unknown, researchers have been able to identify a key characteristic in affected brains: ...

Neural interfaces are devices that can detect or modulate neuronal activity when placed in contact with the brain. They are already used to treat various conditions related to the nervous system.

Stroke remains a leading cause of disability due to the brain’s limited ability to regenerate damaged neural circuits. Here, we show that local transplantation of iPSC-derived neural progenitor cells ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Here’s what you’ll learn when reading this story: The brain uses two key pathways for ...

A remarkable capability of the human brain is to form more abstract conceptual representations from sensorimotor experiences and flexibly apply them independent of direct sensory inputs. However, the ...

Understanding how the brain works requires more than studying single regions in isolation. The cerebral cortex depends on long-distance connections that link specialized areas into coordinated ...

The article from Tech Horizons reports a groundbreaking discovery by researchers at Case Western Reserve University, led by Dominique Durand, revealing a previously unknown form of neural ...

The screen worked, flagging expected cancer genes. But it also kept returning something that seemed impossible: genes for synapses, glutamate receptors, and neural signaling pathways. “We absolutely ...

Flexible graphene neural interface records and modulates brain activity, enabling two-way communication for future neurological treatments. (Nanowerk News) Neural interfaces are devices that can ...
