The neurons in our brain that underlie thought connect to each other using tiny branch-like structures on their surfaces ...

MIT scientists have developed a new 3D human brain tissue model that could change how researchers study neurological diseases ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers of the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands ...

In experiments, their newly created model was able to directly communicate with a biological neuron in a remarkably lifelike, 'quiet' way. The 'cell'-to-cell flow of electrical information involves ...

With the aid of a 3D printer, researchers at Uppsala University have succeeded in creating a model that resembles human nerve tissue. The model, which can be cultured from the patient's own cells, ...
