Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing ...

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don't just imitate the brain - they talk to it.

Place cells are neurons in the brain’s memory center, the hippocampus, that help the brain keep track of the body’s location in space. Arrays of these cells form a cognitive map, firing off electrical ...

How does brain metabolism affect aging? Researchers received a $3.3M NIH grant to study neurometabolic coupling and Alzheimer ...

A new study led by researchers from VIB and KU Leuven shows that immune cells called microglia can actively promote the formation of plaques in Alzheimer's disease, challenging the long-standing view ...

The origins of Alzheimer's remain contentious, but a new study suggests the disease may emerge as two key proteins compete ...

Scientists have created a super-map of the brain containing 30 million cells to trace the prenatal origins of diseases.

Scientists in Canada have uncovered a surprising weakness in glioblastoma, one of the deadliest brain cancers. They found ...

Research into mice from UT Southwestern and other institutions shows brain cells help the body run farther and faster.

Researchers from the Paris Brain Institute and Sainte-Justine University Hospital in Montreal have, for the first time, ...
