An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...

A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic ...

The neurons of our brain may not exist in a single state of matter, new research suggests. As detailed in a study, published in the journal Communications Physics, researchers have found signs that ...

A dendrite – an extension of a neuron - from a 12-month-old human cerebral cortex neuron, grown from human stem cells and transplanted into a mouse cerebral cortex. Two human-specific genes, SRGAP2B ...

The human brain's remarkably prolonged development is unique among mammals and is thought to contribute to our advanced learning abilities. Disruptions in this process may explain certain ...

Targeting OTULIN has proven to eliminate toxic tau proteins in human neurons for the first time, opening a new avenue for treating dementia.

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest ...
