A fluorescence-microscopy method for tracing neuronal connections in the brain could make connectomics studies more widely accessible for neuroscientists. Read the paper: Light-microscopy-based ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

Characteristics of brain complex structure, classification of biomanufacturing methods, key points of functional reconstruction, and application prospects. Brain, the material foundation of human ...

Allen Institute researchers Leila Elabbady and Clay Reid examine brain mapping data from the MICrONS project. (Allen Institute Photo) Researchers say they’ve accomplished a feat that was said to be ...

Both for research and medical purposes, researchers have spent decades pushing the limits of microscopy to produce ever deeper and sharper images of brain activity, not only in the cortex but also in ...

A nanomaterial based on a platform developed by Professor Samuel Stupp crosses the blood-brain barrier and targets harmful ...

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 ...

Elaine Bearer sits at a wraparound desk with several computers, notebooks, and laboratory supplies strewn about. A confocal microscope about the size of a desktop computer from the 1990s sits in front ...

Brain scans of people who had COVID-19 show differences in brain structure months after infection, according to a small study from Australia. Even people who feel fully recovered showed measurable ...
