Recent technological advances have opened new exciting possibilities for the development of smart prosthetics, such as artificial limbs, joints or organs that can replace injured, damaged or amputated ...

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) School of Engineering have developed a novel reinforcement learning–based generative model to predict neural signals, creating ...

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

A new ‘pop-up’ device developed by Professor John Rogers lets scientists map and manipulate activity in human neural ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's ...

Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte ...

Why is sleep so important for learning and memory? Neuroscientists from the Csicsvari group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) provided new insight into this essential function ...

A psychedelic found in mushrooms is emerging as a potential treatment for alcohol use disorders. This possibility is due to a compound the body converts the psychedelic into called psilocin, but ...

Interbrain synchrony is the simultaneous activity of neural networks across the brains of people who are socially interacting ...

One of the universal challenges in human knowledge is translating what is deeply felt and implicitly understood into ...

Children get annual checkups with a pediatrician to determine if they are thriving. This is done by assessing if their height and weight are progressing at expected rates. But how do we measure ...
