Researchers have developed a neural implant that provides information about activity deep inside the brain while sitting on its surface. The implant is made up of a thin, transparent and flexible ...

Innovative technology such as artificial intelligence (AI), brain-computer interfaces and nanotechnology are accelerating neuroscience research in the quest for improving human health and daily lives.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Notwithstanding the progress neuroscientists have made in understanding the microscale function of single neurons and the macroscale activity of the human brain – a comprehensive ...

Recently we wrote about advanced new brain imaging technology that provides amazing views into how the brain is wired, and how signals travel along those “wires” as synapses fire, send signals out and ...

Yesterday, Stanford researcher Karl Deisseroth and his lab published the most detailed images of whole mouse brains that we have seen to date. To understand how this was achieved, we need look no ...

In the first study of its kind, researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) designed and implanted a transparent window in the skull of a ...

Researcher Karl Deisseroth has a new way to improve brain imaging scans. The technique, published in the October issue of Scientific American, makes brain cells transparent by removing lipids, which ...

See-through sensors developed by a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers--Courtesy of UW-Madison Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have come up with an implantable sensor ...
