An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's ...
A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.
In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic ...
To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate ...
To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...
New research shows that physical pressure from brain tumors or injuries triggers a "self-destruction" program in neurons, leading to irreversible brain damage.
The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals, while the latter support and protect ...
Our mushy brains seem a far cry from the solid silicon chips in computer processors, but scientists have a long history of comparing the two. As Alan Turing put it in 1952: “We are not interested in ...
