Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain's support cells ...

A new, high-performance brain-computer interface (BCI) can be rapidly implanted through a minimally invasive procedure. The ...

Neurons communicate with each other by passing millisecond-long signals across tiny junctions called synapses. Experiences cause the strength of these connections to change—a process called synaptic ...

University of Rochester researchers have demonstrated a noninvasive method using BL-OG, or bioluminescent optogenetics, that harnesses light to activate neurons in the brain. The ability to regulate ...

Brain organoids are valuable models for studying neurological diseases. However, they mature slowly, limiting their utility for conditions that develop over decades. Until now, stimulation methods ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Over 5% of children and adolescents are diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) globally. This condition is characterized by a short attention span, hyperactivity or impulsive ...

A new type of noninvasive brain stimulation may help people with moderate to severe depression feel better faster than standard treatments, researchers in a new report say. The method, called ...

Biohacking isn’t just about six-packs and stem cells anymore. Now, longevity junkies are turning inward — using cutting-edge technology and ancient medicine to expand their consciousness, unlock ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have found a new way to more precisely detect and monitor brain cell activity during deep brain stimulation, a common treatment for movement disorders such as Parkinson's ...
