Light is quietly becoming the new language of brain technology. Instead of thick wires and skull-penetrating electrodes, a new generation of implants uses tiny LEDs and optical sensors to send ...

The human brain is complex. Understanding deep brain function usually requires the insertion of probes that frequently result ...

The brain is probably the least explored organ, much of which is due to the difficulty of studying it in situ rather than in slices under a microscope. Even growing small organoids out of neurons ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

Researchers plugged a "brain organoid" into an artificial intelligence system, using the neural tissue to help complete computational tasks. The experiment could mark a step toward "biocomputers." ...

Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. They say the approach could be ...

A startup based on research conducted at Penn State is developing a soft, minimally invasive neural implant intended to reduce inflammation and ...

A fossil smaller than a human fingernail has revealed a complete ancient brain, turning a speck of stone into a detailed map of early animal evolution. Encased inside this tiny creature are preserved ...
