Deep inside the brain, every thought and memory begins with a burst of electrical activity. For years, scientists have tried ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers developed spatial aging clocks using single-cell transcriptomics to explore cell-type-specific interactions and their impact on brain ...

Silent cells deep in your spinal cord may hold a surprising key to healing after devastating injuries and brain disease. A ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

For more than a decade, there’s been growing proof that adult humans can form new neurons in the hippocampus, but scientists were still missing evidence of a missing link known as “neural progenitor ...

Biological cells process data and perform computations all the time. They take inputs in the form of external stimuli and produce specific responses. Recently, scientists have been looking at ways to ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

Research led by the SickKids Research Institute in Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania, has found that immune-related ...
