In the developing brain, neurons must navigate through complex and often crowded tissue to reach their final destinations—this process is crucial for proper brain formation and function. Similar to ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers at the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

Using a novel technology for obtaining recordings from single neurons, a team of investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital, a founding member of the Mass General Brigham health care system, ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from "The Matrix," scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date—a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they fire off messages.

Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing artificial neurons that can actually communicate with real ones. These flexible ...

A tiny stack of printed nanomaterials, thinner than a human hair and flexible enough to bend with living tissue, just did something no fabricated device has done before: it fired electrical spikes so ...

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don’t just imitate the brain — they talk to it. In a new study, the Northwestern team developed flexible, low-cost devices that ...

Using microfluidic devices mimicking the crowded spaces in the developing brain, researchers gained novel insights into distinct modes of locomotion found in neurons. In the developing brain, neurons ...
