Like ancient subway tracks buried deep underneath modern lines, a previously unknown transport system ferries materials around the brain. But this system, made of star-shaped cells called astrocytes, ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

For children with autism spectrum disorder and with an intellectual disability, the options for improving communication and social skills are limited. Talking therapies and behavioural programmes can ...

While many brain-computer interface companies are focused on helping paralyzed people communicate, Motif Neurotech is targeting mental health disorders. The company’s device is implanted in the skull ...

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don’t just imitate the brain — they talk to it. In a new study, the Northwestern team developed flexible, low-cost devices that ...

The far-flung organs of the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system are inextricably connected, and the growing body of scientific literature surrounding the ‘gut-brain axis’ is ...

Understanding how the brain works requires more than studying single regions in isolation. The cerebral cortex depends on long-distance connections that link specialized areas into coordinated ...

You’re lying on a hospital gurney, waiting for the anaesthesiologist to send you under so you can be taken into theatre and the operation can begin. Naturally, you’re nervous. But mixed with the quiet ...
