A team has developed a soft, thin-film ABI. The device uses micrometer-scale platinum electrodes embedded in silicone, forming a pliable array just a fraction of a millimeter thick. This novel ...

A new experiment suggests that the thalamus plays a key role in humans becoming consciously aware of stimuli their brain ...

The 3D brain map includes more than 200,000 cells, 523 million synapses and over two miles of axons, representing the most detailed wiring diagram of a piece of mammal brain ever constructed ...

After nine years of painstaking work, an international team of researchers on Wednesday published a precise map of the vision ...

Persistently elevated glucose levels damage the delicate blood vessels supplying oxygen and nutrients to brain tissue ... lapses often get dismissed as normal aging but may represent diabetes ...

B12 is an essential vitamin that plays an important role in making DNA, red blood cells and nerve tissue ... the higher side of normal. White matter contains the nerve fibers that enable communication ...

Clinical details are presented in Table S9. Brain tissue samples were collected from patients with AIS+HT or spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. The inclusion criteria for AIS and spontaneous ...

Mobile genetic elements may be a source of DNA sequence variation in normal human brain tissue. Geoff Faulkner, now at the University of Queensland, and colleagues showed that retrotransposons, which ...

Senolytics are compounds that help clear out damaged or “zombie” cells that build up with age and contribute to inflammation and tissue dysfunction ... not affect normal brain enzymes ...

This advancement in neuromorphic computing uses commercial CMOS technology, potentially revolutionizing chip efficiency by emulating the human brain's processing capabilities. Scientists are ...
