Engineers print artificial neurons that communicate with living brain cells for the first time
A tiny circuit, printed from ink made of atom-thin crystals, just fired electrical pulses that a living brain cell recognized and responded to. Researchers at Northwestern University say it is the ...
Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don’t just imitate the brain — they talk to it. In a new study, the Northwestern team developed flexible, low-cost devices that ...
Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly ...
Chanda's team used human neurons derived from stem cells to develop a model of the brain that could rigorously test these relationships. Using a gene-editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9, they were able to ...

All cells, whether big or small, short or long, rely on proteins to function properly. In most cells, transporting these ...
When it comes to brain cells, neurons get the most attention. Their central role in our thoughts, sensations and behaviors has captivated scientists. But neurons are only half the story: glia, ...
While the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia are still largely unknown, researchers have been able to identify a key characteristic in affected brains: ...
Insights from advanced imaging technology show how neurons communicate at the atomic level for the first time. For the first time, scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) used advanced ...
Experimental electron micrograph of purified synaptic vesicles (upper). Synaptic vesicles automatically identified in the image with a new computer program are highlighted with different colours and ...
