Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers has developed a virtual 3D heart, digitally showcasing the heart's unique network of neurons for the first time. Using the rat heart as a model, the ...

Scientists have created a digital fruit fly brain simulation using a mapped connectome and AI, letting the virtual insect ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see – but it’s been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers at ...

National Institutes of Health-funded scientists have developed a 3D micro-scaffold technology that promotes reprogramming of stem cells into neurons, and supports growth of neuronal connections ...

After training neurons to play Pong, the team is back, and this time the brain cells are slaying demons with super shotguns.

Researchers at Australian start-up Cortical Labs have taught human neurons grown on a chip to play the classic Doom game. In ...

To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...

The brain relies on real-time delivery of oxygen and nutrients through its microvasculature, which threads through neural ...
