Scientists created an artificial neuron that operates at the same voltage as living cells and is able to communicate with the human brain.

Experimental therapy RT1999 will soon be tested in the UK EXPERTS-ALS platform trial designed to rapidly screen potential ALS treatments.

A device that looks like a high-tech bowling ball that can be attached to power lines can open up excess capacity on electric ...

The finding reveals a previously hidden motivation for gnawing in mammals, which could help lead to more effective treatments for oral health issues ...

Animal communication is more than simple signals. Mammals use sounds, expressions, and touch to convey emotions and social ...

A recent study examines why Alzheimer's presents and progresses differently in individuals using advanced biological analysis ...

The team is led by Leanne Li of The Francis Crick Institute in London, England. Her research combines cancer biology and neuroscience to investigate how cancer communicates with peripheral nerves ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, Mayo Clinic researchers have identified specific DNA-level changes in the ...

Touch—the first sense to develop in the womb—is fundamental to our bodily experience and our everyday lives. Yet, as the least studied of the five senses, it remains somewhat mysterious at the ...

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

Neurons placed inside engineered living bodies built from frog cells self-organize, become active, and reshape movement without evolutionary guidance.

UMass Amherst engineers have built an artificial neuron powered by bacterial protein nanowires that functions like a real one, but at extremely low voltage. This allows for seamless communication with ...
