BACKGROUND: The disruption of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a central pathogenic event in many central nervous system disorders. However, the mechanisms regulating BBB function remain incompletely ...

A new imaging breakthrough combines ultrasound and light-based techniques to generate vivid 3D images that show both tissue ...

A study led by Dartmouth Engineering professors demonstrates a possible new technique for connecting electronic implants with ...

Studying the shape of tissues and organs is critical to understanding how they are formed. Embryonic development happens in ...

Despite decades of research, the mechanisms behind fast flashes of insight that change how a person perceives their world, ...

Even though its brain is smaller than a grain of rice, this spider plans ahead, adapts mid-hunt and outsmarts prey larger ...

Neural tissue normally dies quickly without oxygen. Yet bird retinas—among the most energy-demanding tissues in the animal kingdom—function permanently without it. This may be relevant in future ...

In this Sportsing! Short, JD Dubois reveals how breathwork and visualization unlock peak performance. He explains how controlling breath calms the nervous system, sharpens focus, and how visualization ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self. Research on ...

Bram Servais formerly worked for Cortical Labs but holds no shared patents or stock and has severed all financial ties. As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current ...

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

As we age, our body’s nervous system starts to slow down. The nerves that tell our muscles to move don’t fire as quickly. That decline can shape how we move, react, and perform. Resistance training ...
