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 ...

I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely calibrated ultrasonic pulses. On the screen in front of us, calcium signals ...

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 ...

The brain is constantly mapping the external world like a GPS, even when we don't know about it. This activity comes in the form of tiny electrical signals sent between neurons—specialized cells that ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 6, 2025 – A new study by UT Health San Antonio and Stanford University scientists brings us closer to understanding how the body detects different sensations such as pain, itch and ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...
