Minnesota engineers developed fluid-filled 3D-printed tissues that mimic the feel of surgery, earning praise from surgeons.

DishBrain connected 800,000 human and mouse neurons to a microelectrode platform, allowing the cells to interact and perform goal-directed tasks in real-time. CL1, on the other hand, integrates an ...

Neuroscientists from around the world have worked in parallel to map, for the first time, the entire brain activity of mice while they were making decisions. This achievement involved using electrodes ...

A paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution finds that the relatively high rate of autism-spectrum disorders in humans is likely due to how humans evolved in the past. The paper is titled "A general ...

A new brain stimulating helmet that could improve the treatment of both depression and Parkinson's disease represents a "paradigm shift" for neuroscience, say researchers. The ultrasound device ...

Do colors trigger unique brain responses? And do different people have the same brain responses to colors? In a new JNeurosci paper, Michael Bannert and Andreas Bartels, from the University of ...

Researchers have captured the very first real-time, three-dimensional images and videos of a human embryo implanting into collagen designed to mimic uterine tissue —a key stage in reproduction. The ...

Scientists at UC San Diego have discovered a small but powerful section of DNA, called HAR123, that could help explain what makes the human brain so unique. Instead of being a gene, HAR123 acts like a ...

The human brain shrinks as it ages, affecting the ability to remember — it’s part of life. Yet there are a lucky few, called “SuperAgers,” who possess a brain that fights back. For these people, ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins have grown a first-of-its-kind organoid mimicking an entire human brain, complete with rudimentary blood vessels and neural activity. This new "multi-region brain organoid" ...

Even though the terms brain plasticity and neuroplasticity are associated with late 20th- and now 21st-century scientific and medical thinking, the concept of brain plasticity has been known (although ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...
