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 ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

Parkinson’s disease steals ease and movement by striking a narrow band of midbrain neurons. If you study or cover neuroscience, you have seen the promise and frustration in efforts to grow these ...

There must be something about the human brain that’s different from the brains of other animals — something that enables humans to plan, imagine the future, solve crossword puzzles, tell sarcastic ...

A scientific team supported in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed a new, ultra-high-resolution brain imaging system that can reconstruct microscopic brain structures that ...

In laboratories, some are cultivating human brain cells to transform them into biological circuits for supercomputers—a concept known as “bio computing.” Though it sounds like science fiction, small ...
