Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing ...

Scientists have created artificial neurons that can communicate directly with real brain cells, opening the door to new ...

Printed artificial neurons generate realistic brain-like signals that activate living neurons. Device uses flexible, low-cost ...

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don't just imitate the brain - they talk to it.

Researchers mapped brain-wide astrocyte networks that link distant regions, proving these "support cells" have their own long ...

I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely calibrated ultrasonic pulses. On the screen in front of us, calcium signals ...

A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced the creation of an artificial neuron with electrical functions that closely mirror those of biological ones. Building on ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

Researchers have shown in mice that brain cells known as astrocytes are required for a signaling chemical called norepinephrine to modify brain activity, changing the textbook understanding that ...

From Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s hand came branches and whorls, spines and webs. Now-famous drawings by the neuroanatomist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries showed, for the first time, the ...

A team at Northwestern University has fabricated artificial neurons by printing them onto flexible plastic, and the tiny ...
