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 ...

Microscopic fibers secretly shape how every organ in the body works, yet they’ve been notoriously hard to study—until now. A ...

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.

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 have built a fully implantable device that sends light-based messages directly to the brain. Mice learned to ...

In a new leap for neurobiology and bioelectronics, Northwestern University scientists have developed a wireless device that ...

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 ...
