A cluster of rat neurons, grown on a chip in a Japanese laboratory, just learned to generate a sine wave on command. Across ...

University of Missouri researchers are developing new ways to better simulate the complex nature of human brain tissue. For years, scientists have worked to uncover how the brain responds to ...

A 3D model accurately mimicking the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) in a laboratory environment has been successfully developed by research teams led by Professor Jinah Jang from the Departments of ...

Derived from human pluripotent stem cells, the 3D models allow scientists to study unique properties of the human brain. Researchers use cortical organoids to answer fundamental questions such as how ...

A suite of three innovations enables high-resolution, high-throughput imaging of human brain tissue at a full range of scales and mapping connectivity of neurons at single cell resolution. To ...

Advancing neurological disorder research requires model systems that more accurately reflect the human brain. 3D cell cultures, such as organoids and spheroids, have emerged as game-changers by better ...

Soft electrodes designed to perfectly match a person's brain surface may help advance neural interfaces for neurodegenerative ...

The University of Barcelona is consolidating its position at the forefront of European research thanks to the strategic project "VISI-ON-BRAIN: Cutting-edge Human In Vitro and In Silico Biomedical ...

For many heartbreaking diseases of the brain — dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and others — doctors can only treat the symptoms. Medical science does not have a cure. Why? Because it’s difficult to ...

For Martin Schrimpf, the promise of artificial intelligence is not in the tasks it can accomplish. It’s in what AI might reveal about human intelligence. He is working to build a “digital twin” of the ...
