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

A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

The cells with electrophysiological activity obtained at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) are opening up new avenues for the study of neurodegenerative diseases and the development of ...

“Stem Cells in Neurotoxicology,” volume 12 in the “Advances in Neurotoxicology” series, presents interesting chapters written by an international board of authors. Chapters in this new release include ...

For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – is now a widely ...

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have linked genetic variants to neuropsychiatric disorders, but their regulatory roles in non-coding regions remain largely unclear. Using the LUHMES neuronal ...

The shoe box-sized device, dubbed CL1, is a notable departure from a conventional computer, and uses human brain cells to run fluid neural networks. In 2022, Cortical Labs made a big splash after ...

Despite significant advances in Parkinson’s disease (PD) treatment, it remains incurable, with limited therapeutic options. Currently, repurposing already tested, safe drugs has emerged as an ...

The brain's mechanisms for repairing injuries caused by trauma or degenerative diseases are not yet known in detail. Now, a study by the University of Barcelona describes a new strategy based on stem ...
