Vision loss has long been treated as a one-way street, a devastating endpoint rather than a problem the brain might quietly ...

The Alzheimer’s, Dementia and Parkinson’s (ADP) research team at Nottingham Trent University is working to combat the ...

Brain organoids are revolutionising research, but their growing complexity raises unsettling ethical questions.

For over 2,000 years, the secret behind chameleons' remarkable ability to move their eyes independently has baffled scientists. Now, modern CT scans have revealed that chameleons' eyes are powered by ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have developed and tested a new 3D surface scanning approach that gives neurosurgeons even greater precision when operating deep inside the brain. The system aligns a patient's ...

Located in the middle of the South Pacific, thousands of miles from the nearest continent, Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. To visit it and marvel at the ...

In a major brain science breakthrough, New Orleans-based researchers and collaborators have discovered a nerve signaling mechanism that takes place outside the cell, flipping on a 'pain switch.' This ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a natural mechanism that clears existing amyloid plaques in the brains of mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease and preserves cognitive function ...

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 ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Scientists from the Allen Institute have developed what they claim is a first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence-powered database and research tool for neuroscientists. The so-called Brain Knowledge ...

Study in a Sentence: Scientists took thousands of microscopic images of human brain slices and used AI to create a publicly available, exceptionally detailed 3D brain map that can be used to ...
