Many labs are growing mini-hearts now, but University at Albany researcher says it has managed to take the heart all the way through the stages of development.

In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...

Made by combining several emerging technologies, human “bodyoids” could reduce animal testing, improve drug development, and alleviate organ shortages.

Concepts encoded by concept neurons can be an animal, an article of clothing, a place, or a person. The concept can be evoked ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...

Imagine a world where the oxygen you need changes dramatically between day and night. Your world shifts from being rich in oxygen (oxic) in the day, so you have energy to hunt for food, to ...

Unorthodox biologist Michael Levin says cognition lies on a spectrum and that what humans perceive as consciousness could ...
