For the first time, an electrical communication has just been established between a living nerve cell and its artificial ...

Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Tal Sharf's lab used organoids to make fundamental discoveries about human ...

In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send ...

According to the research, a single artificial neuron can replicate various pre-motor, motor, and visual behaviours, ...

Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at the Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The team ...

Neuroengineers were able to map the locations and activity of up to 1 million potential synaptic links in a living brain thanks to a new 3D electrode array that records the split-second evolution of ...

As you read these words, billions upon billions of electrical impulses are flying through your brain. In a complex symphony of activity all those impulses are somehow encoding your thoughts, feelings, ...

When I began my master’s program in cognitive science, an electrical engineering professor told us—rather arrogantly—that the soul is nothing but neurons firing. “You’re deluded if you think otherwise ...

Neurons that specifically reduce and modulate electrical brain activity have a greater influence on emotional memories than ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The study published ...

PHILADELPHIA – The transfer of a neurotransmitter from one type of skin cell to another (melanocytes to keratinocytes) altered electrical activity and promoted melanoma initiation in preclinical ...
