Scientists placed 200,000 living human brain cells on a microchip and taught it how to play a doomsday video game — and are ...

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often debilitating autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS).

Cortical Labs is building two data centres that will house its neuron-filled chips. The technology is still in the very early stages of development ...

Researchers identify five specific neuron subgroups in the motor cortex most vulnerable to TDP-43 protein clumps in ALS and Frontotemporal Dementia.

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...

In 2024, Elon Musk's Neuralink implant allowed a quadriplegic patient to play RuneScape and Slay the Spire in his brain. But now, scientists are taking things further, training lab-grown brain cells ...

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 ...

To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the progress made in ...
