Neural organoids have a habit of sticking to each other, making them hard to scale. Xanthan gum, a common food additive, ...

ETH Zurich researchers have generated over 400 human nerve cell types from stem cells using systematic combinations of ...

A new study has revealed compelling evidence that brain criticality—a dynamic balance between neural excitation and inhibition—has a strong genetic foundation and is associated with cognitive ...

Now, researchers at the University of Glasgow have demonstrated something previously thought impossible: detecting light that has traveled all the way through an adult human head.

For decades, scientists have used near-infrared light to study the brain in a noninvasive way. This optical technique, known as fNIRS (functional near-infrared spectroscopy), measures how light is ...

Researchers at the University of Glasgow have achieved a milestone in brain imaging by detecting near-infrared light that traveled completely through an adult human head. Using high-powered lasers ...

Understanding human intelligence, here we come.Scientists have mapped an unprecedentedly large portion of the brain of a mouse. The cubic millimeter worth of brain tissue represents the largest ...

Scientists have long tried to understand the human brain by comparing it to other primates. Researchers are still trying to understand what makes our brain different to our closest relatives. Our ...

Physics informs when impact to the head or a pane of glass occurs, there is a transfer of energy that reverberates and radiates throughout the head, brain, and pane of glass.

A tie-up between a Chinese research institute and tech company said on Monday that it aims to implant its brain chip into 13 people by the end of this year, in a move that could see it overtake ...

In our study, we compared these connectivity fingerprints across the human, chimpanzee and macaque monkey brain. The chimpanzee is, together with the bonobo, our closest living relative. The ...

The human brain may contain up to a spoon’s worth of tiny plastic shards—not a spoonful, but the same weight (about seven grams) as a plastic spoon, according to new findings published Monday ...
