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

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 ...

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

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 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 ...

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 ...

You can 3D-print nearly anything: rockets, mouse ovaries, and for some reason, lamps made of orange peels. Now, scientists at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have printed living neural ...

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 ...
