Parents have long intuitively known that music holds more than mere entertainment value for their little ones. Now, scientific research confirms this parental wisdom, establishing music as a powerful ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

Scientists studying human neural organoids could only record and stimulate activity from limited regions because conventional flat electronics do not conform well to the tissues’ three-dimensional, ...

Researchers from the Paris Brain Institute and Sainte-Justine University Hospital in Montreal have, for the first time, ...

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 ...

Pea-sized brain blobs are a chatty bunch. Packed with neurons that spark with electrical activity, brain organoids—or “mini brains”—are a now popular way to study the human brain. Some organoids model ...

A new machine learning tool called PhysMAP separates the electrical signatures of different cell types, offering a new way to ...

Pea-sized brains grown in a lab have for the first time revealed the unique way neurons might misfire due to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, psychiatric ailments that affect millions of people ...

Restoring lost senses or delivering precise brain signals has required invasive hardware and can’t mimic the brain’s natural, distributed activity patterns. This platform shows the brain can learn to ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...
