A team led by Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab scientists have developed a new technology that can eavesdrop on the hidden electrical dialogues unfolding inside miniature, lab-grown ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have discovered a mechanism that could explain how exercise improves cognition by shoring up ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...

Researchers using high-resolution brain scans are finding that when hearing starts to slip, the brain does not simply “turn ...

A new 3D electronic mesh device allows scientists to record and stimulate activity across almost the entire surface of lab-grown human "mini-brains." ...

Perovskites, named after a mineral discovered in the Urals in the 19th century, are compounds with the chemical formula ABX 3, where A and B are positively charged metal ions and X is a negatively ...

Most mammals take one of two approaches to survive the winter: they either hibernate, slowing their bodies to a near standstill, or they bulk up with extra fat to burn when food runs low. Then ...

The team of researchers led by Prof. Kristian Franze found that increasing tissue stiffness induces the expression of chemical signals that are typically absent in those regions. Semaphorin 3A is one ...

Veins in the skull can rearrange their borders to accommodate patrolling immune cells, a strange behaviour called ruffling.

A biomimetic synapse built from water droplets and biological ion channels achieves synaptic plasticity and performs machine learning tasks.
