To map the mammalian brain and its various functions with increasing precision, neuroscientists rely on high-resolution imaging techniques and other advanced experimental tools. These include ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing ...

The same brain cells activate when you see something and when you imagine it, helping explain why mental images can feel so ...

Objectives: Brain‒computer interfaces (BCI) are currently used in clinical studies but mostly rely on population level signals that limit their precision, facing challenges of interpretability and ...

Is endurance all in your head? A new study reveals that VMH neurons in the brain direct the body to boost physical stamina.

At the core of neuronal communication lie action potentials, brief, rapid electrical impulses that travel down the axon to transmit information for brain function. Abnormalities in neuron firing are ...

A project led by ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich has developed a platform detecting both optical and MRI data from biological tissues. Christened HyFMRI and described in Light Science & ...

Aurora surgeons implanted a BCI in higher brain regions. The patient reported feeling fingers move after surgery.
