A biocomputer powered by lab-grown human brain cells has leveled up from Pong to Doom. While nowhere ready to handle the video game shooter’s most challenging levels, researchers at Cortical Labs in ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

The progressive loss of function and structure of neuronal cells is a process that falls under the name "neurodegeneration." Regardless of their etiology, ...

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

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 ...

Researchers used single-nucleus RNA sequencing and chromatin accessibility profiling to map human hippocampal neurogenesis across adulthood, aging, and Alzheimer’s disease. They found that chromatin ...

Study argues to move beyond ‘reading genes’ — focus on conserved neural-development networks in humans to improve early screening and identify therapeutic leads.

Neuron-powered computer chips can now be easily programmed to play a first-person shooter game, bringing biological computers a step closer to useful applications ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue that holds neurons together, but glial cells can also be helpful in promoting ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Beyond its bright red seeds, pomegranate harbors fibre-bound “hidden” polyphenols that amplify its ...
