Ordinary human cells, not just neurons, respond more strongly to memory signals when they arrive in spaced bursts rather than ...

A new bioengineered neuronal circuit board "BioConNet" allows scientists to artificially engineer human brain-like wiring at scale and can be used to engineer any possible circuit. The fully ...

During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular switch" involving the protein Teneurin 4 (Ten4). This protein can guide ...

Amsbio has expanded its range of iPSC Differentiation Kits, offering faster and more flexible generation of specific neural ...

Nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord are wrapped in an insulating sheath known as myelin. For a long time, this barrier, which is essentially the brain's white matter, was believed to serve the ...

Scientists have trained a computer made from living human neurons to play the classic video game Doom, marking a strange but important step forward in biological computing. Researchers at Australian ...

For decades, depression has been explained to patients as a “chemical imbalance” in the brain, a vague phrase that never ...

Scientists mapped human brain development in Down syndrome at a cellular level, discovering that stem cells "rush" to become ...
