Two researchers received two-year grants from The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation. Two researchers at the University of ...

Human brains are known for performing billions of computations while using about the same energy as a single light bulb. By ...

A 3D-printed 'brain phantom' has been developed, which is modeled on the structure of brain fibers and can be imaged using a special variant of magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). The scientific team ...

For the first time, researchers have grown 3D models of the brain that include a wide variety of cell types from several people 1. These ‘village in a dish’ organoids could help to reveal why the ...

The Indiana University School of Medicine hopes to make significant advancements in Alzheimer’s disease research thanks to a new $16.5 million federal grant. The five-year grant from the National ...

Advancing neurological disorder research requires model systems that more accurately reflect the human brain. 3D cell cultures, such as organoids and spheroids, have emerged as game-changers by better ...

A 3D model accurately mimicking the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) in a laboratory environment has been successfully developed by research teams led by Professor Jinah Jang from the Departments of ...

Researchers say this could lead to more targeted treatment approaches. To many other researchers, creating a map of the 86 billion neurons, or nerve cells, that make up the brain would be considered a ...

Harvard and Google Research have released a startlingly deep dive into the human brain, mapping thousands of cells and millions of synapses in a poppy seed-sized sample of brain tissue. The effort ...

It's referred to as a phantom, yet it's anything but scary. In fact, for patients who need tumors extracted, it could help advance a promising surgical procedure. Developed by Department of Mechanical ...
