Scientists are testing whether GLP-1 drugs can help to cut cravings for cigarettes, alcohol and opioids — as well as food.
The last turning point comes around age 83. The data for this final era is more limited, but the defining feature is a shift ...
Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...
For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...
Researchers identified five major phases of human brain wiring that unfold from birth to old age, marked by four major turning points at ages 9, 32, 66, and 83.
Researchers have built a fully implantable device that sends light-based messages directly to the brain. Mice learned to ...

Understanding the shape or morphology of neurons and mapping the tree-like branches via which they receive signals from other ...
As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...
I don’t want this column to be “that guy that’s always ranting about bad microplastics reporting,” but gosh, sometimes it’s impossible to resist. I’ve been trying really, really hard to stay away from ...
