If researchers at Clemson University and the Georgia Institute of Technology have their way, the power grid of tomorrow will be governed by a network of living neurons, grown in a Petri dish, and ...

Of the many big, unanswered questions in this Universe, the ones pertaining to the functioning of biological neural networks are probably among the most intriguing. From the lowliest neurally gifted ...

A microbe-filled petri dish isn't usually where one would expect to find art, but it turns out that cell colonies can form some pretty compelling visuals. The honor of first place went to “Neurons,” a ...

The Penn State research team used advanced super‑resolution microscopy, a type of imaging technique that can peer into cells at the nanoscale — about 10,000 times smaller than the thickness of a human ...

Researchers have developed a model that rapidly converts stem cells to brain cells with protein structures characteristic of Parkinson's disease (PD), enabling the study of the condition's unique and ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them - signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces - in a process known as endocytosis that is ...
