How Our Own Cells Could Implant The Next Generation Of Nonsurgical Brain Microchips

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

How brain tumor cells influence neurons and vice versa

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body.

Light Microscopy-Based Connectomics Reconstructs Brain Tissue Including Synaptic Connections

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...
