Scientists have identified a previously unknown brain circuit that appears to drive chronic pain, separate from the pathways ...

Researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique that uses RNA “barcodes” to map how neurons connect, capturing thousands ...

A rare group of neurons can reconnect broken spinal circuits and trigger leg muscle activity after spinal cord injury—a ...

Within human neuroscience, recent advances have transformed our perspective on depression and anxiety, reframing them as conditions of network-level ...

Multisensory integration is a cornerstone of cognitive function, allowing the brain to synthesize disparate streams of information into a coherent ...

Researchers at Purdue University have grown conductive polymers inside the brains of living animals using the animals’ own blood as a chemical trigger, then used near-infrared light to switch neural ...

I have spent many years as a psychiatrist being frustrated at the lack of treatment options for patients with terribly debilitating psychiatric illnesses.” — Dr. Mary L. Phillips, Distinguished ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

A new bioengineered neuronal circuit board "BioConNet" allows scientists to artificially engineer human brain-like wiring at scale and can be used to engineer any possible circuit. The fully ...
