Neural tissue normally dies quickly without oxygen. Yet bird retinas—among the most energy-demanding tissues in the animal ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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' ...

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 ...
