A new technique for creating transparent tissue has been developed that can be used to illuminate 3-D brain anatomy at very high resolutions. In recent years, generating see-through tissue--a process ...

Poultry scientists are unraveling the complexities of bird brains and finding less expensive ways to do it. The scientists mapped the intricate neurological pathways that control vision in chickens ...

Scientists at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan have developed a new method for creating transparent tissue that can be used to illuminate 3D brain anatomy at high resolutions. Published in ...

Our hearts are primarily controlled by the brain and autonomic nervous system, but we also have a backup. The heart has its own mini-brain called the intracardiac nervous system (ICN), which fine ...

Using virtual reality tech described as a fighter-jet flight simulator for the human body, Medtronic hopes to put brain surgeons in the pilot’s seat—giving them patient-specific maps of blood vessels ...

What just happened? Researchers have reconstructed a minuscule piece of the human brain down to the level of individual synapses, representing a giant leap forward for brain science. And we're not ...

This hack is a strange mixture of awesome and ghoulish. [Andrew Sink] created a 3D printed version of his brain. He received a CD from an MRI session that contained the data obtained by the scan. Not ...
