Light is quietly becoming the new language of brain technology. Instead of thick wires and skull-penetrating electrodes, a new generation of implants uses tiny LEDs and optical sensors to send ...

The human brain is complex. Understanding deep brain function usually requires the insertion of probes that frequently result ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

Jinxing Li and Christopher H. Contag delve into magnetobiology, which utilizes magnetic fields to manipulate and control ...

The brain is probably the least explored organ, much of which is due to the difficulty of studying it in situ rather than in slices under a microscope. Even growing small organoids out of neurons ...

A startup based on research conducted at Penn State is developing a soft, minimally invasive neural implant intended to reduce inflammation and ...

Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. They say the approach could be ...

From enhancing mobility and motor function to improving sensory capabilities, brain-computer interfaces (BCI) can expand our human capabilities by enabling seamless communication, improving cognitive ...

A fossil smaller than a human fingernail has revealed a complete ancient brain, turning a speck of stone into a detailed map of early animal evolution. Encased inside this tiny creature are preserved ...
