Neurons—the nerve cells responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals throughout the body—are organized in tissue, tending to cluster together in groups according to how they function.

In a town on the shores of Lake Geneva sit clumps of living human brain cells for hire. These blobs, about the size of a ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

Understanding how the brain learns and applies rules is the key to unraveling the neural basis of flexible behavior. A new ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and their collaborators have created one of the most comprehensive single cell maps ...

After years of debate, scientists provided new evidence for the lifelong birth of human brain cells, which may inform future therapies for neurological diseases. “This gives us an important piece of ...
