Light is quietly becoming the new language of brain technology. Instead of thick wires and skull-penetrating electrodes, a ...

The study shows that fat tissue, when processed and cultured in a specific way, can self-organize into structures resembling ...

A startup based on research conducted at Penn State is developing a soft, minimally invasive neural implant intended to ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

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 human brain, despite representing only about 2% of total body weight, consumes approximately 20% of the body’s energy resources. This metabolic intensity makes the brain particularly responsive to ...

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 ...

Nerve damage affects millions of people worldwide, creating symptoms ranging from mild tingling to severe pain and loss of function. While conventional treatments often focus on managing symptoms, ...
