Diesel exhaust particles can disturb the function of human brain immune cells, known as microglia, according to a recent ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell ...

UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

Researchers have created functional brain-like tissue without relying on any animal-derived materials, marking a major step toward more ethical and reproducible neurological research.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a natural mechanism that clears existing amyloid plaques in the ...

Humans know they exist, but how does "knowing" work? Despite all that's been learned about brain function and the bodily ...

It's a myth that we use only 10% of our brains. However, you're not alone in buying into this. A survey done about 10 years ago found that almost two-thirds of Americans shared this misconception.

Neuromorphic computing, inspired by the brain, integrates memory and processing to drastically reduce power consumption compared to traditional CPUs and GPUs, making AI at the network edge more ...

Despite widespread skepticism, the National Science Foundation and DARPA have invested millions of dollars in organoid-based ...

To navigate something as complex and dynamic as the brain, a map would help. Researchers have learned an enormous amount about how we think, what drives our behaviors, and why we feel the way we do ...
