A few blobs of lab-grown brain tissue have demonstrated a striking proof of concept: living neural circuits can be nudged toward solving a classic control problem through carefully structured feedback ...

A team led by Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab scientists have developed a new technology that can eavesdrop on the hidden electrical dialogues unfolding inside miniature, lab-grown ...

In a recent study published in Cell Stem Cell, researchers produced three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted human brain tissues, allowing for the creation of functioning neural networks that could simulate ...

Researchers uncover dynamic “dancing” molecules in spinal cord organoids, offering insights into neural development and ...

A study led by Dartmouth Engineering professors demonstrates a possible new technique for connecting electronic implants with the surface of the brain, as well as a new method for ensuring safe, ...

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' ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...

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 ...
