The human sense of touch is a complex system that integrates diverse sensations such as pain, temperature, and pleasant ...

A new study in Nature Communications could influence how gene therapies are designed for many genetic diseases. Pictured: Gokul Ramadoss, the first author, is a PhD candidate in Bruce Conklin's lab at ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by ...

They created a library of the different electrical signatures for each type of neuron, which then allowed them to train an AI algorithm that can automatically recognise five different types of neurons ...

During brain development, an excess of neurons and neurites, the cellular projections that will eventually develop into axons and dendrites, are produced. These are later scaled back either by pruning ...

In people with epilepsy undergoing a pre-surgical monitoring technique called stereo-electroencephalography, electrical leads from a type of depth electrode are implanted throughout the brain. Kehl ...
