Two RIKEN researchers have used a scheme for simplifying data to mimic how the brain of a fruit fly reduces the complexity of ...

The ability to precisely predict movements is essential not only for humans and animals, but also for many AI applications - ...

A man with a severe speech disability is able to speak expressively and sing using a brain implant that translates his neural ...

This important study investigates frequency-dependent effects of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) on bladder function in healthy humans and, through a computational model, shows that low ...

Implants that monitor the neural activity of frog embryos as they grow into tadpoles and then adults could offer a window ...

When navigating a place that we're only somewhat familiar with, we often rely on unique landmarks to help make our way.

Imagine treating chronic illness not with pills, but with soft, flexible electronic implants seamlessly integrated into the ...

In the ongoing search to find a pain intervention that does away with the need for opioids – and bypasses drugs altogether – ...

Abstract: A model is presented that reproduces spiking and bursting behavior of known types of cortical neurons. The model combines the biologically plausibility of Hodgkin-Huxley-type dynamics and ...

Abstract: We have investigated the alterations that the long-term implant of sieve electrodes to the peripheral nerves could evoke in the central nervous system by studying the neural activity at ...

It begins with a fall, a crash, or a sudden jolt. In a split second, the spinal cord shatters. For millions, the damage is ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? It all depends on transmission of chemical signals in the brain, carried and released by molecular containers called vesicles. In a new study, researchers ...
