It could transform our understanding of why diseases develop and the medicines needed to treat them, says researchers.

Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

A study led by researchers at the University of Camerino in Italy found that the fatty insulation protecting neurons can be harmed when we go without sleep, compromising our mental processing. Through ...

OpenAI, Google, and Moonshot AI are ushering in agentic AI systems that investigate, coordinate, and verify tasks beyond ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their behavior.

Degradable pacemakers and artificial neurons showcase how flexible, tissue-compatible electronics are revolutionising medicine. But translating these materials from lab bench to clinic requires solvin ...

A new comprehensive analysis has revealed that major depressive disorder alters both the physical architecture and the electrical activity of the brain in the same specific regions. By mapping these ...

A new study adds to the wide body of research connecting chlorpyrifos to neurological effects, such as those experienced with Parkinson's.

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...

Across the physical world, many intricate structures form via symmetry breaking. When a system with inherent symmetry ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...
