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 ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to ...

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 ...

Researchers create a massive single-cell atlas of the aging mouse brain, revealing how epigenetic changes and "jumping genes" drive neurodegeneration.

A group of specialized cells play a crucial part in clearing toxic proteins from inside the brain 1. But in people with Alzheimer’s disease, these cells malfunction, leading to the build up of tau ...

Brain cells are like tiny trees. They have an intricate web of roots that take in signals and a trunk that passes these signals to branches dotted with hubs called synapses, where the messages are ...

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 ...
