In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- You won't hear his voice clearly, but a brainstem stroke patient is essentially speaking for the first time in 15 years. Or more precisely, his brain is. It's sending signals, ...

Researchers at UT San Antonio have uncovered new details about electrical signals happening within nerve cells, deepening scientists' understanding of the brain. The UT San Antonio research team and ...

Scientists in Melbourne have discovered how tiny electrical pulses can steer stem cells as they grow, opening the door to new improved ways of creating new tissues, organs, nerves and bones. Dr Amy ...

Researchers use MEG imaging to show that the brain reactivates "forgotten" memories, but they only reach consciousness if they pulse at a specific rhythm.

Surgically implanted devices that allow paralyzed people to speak can also eavesdrop on their inner monologue. That's the conclusion of a study of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) in the journal Cell.
