The CL1 is the first commercial system from the same researchers who wowed the tech world in 2022 by teaching a cluster of ...
Exercising and waking up early may protect against developing motor neurone disease, a study suggests. The rare condition, also commonly known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), affects roughly ...
Something in their brains enables them to maintain a superior memory. I believe hippocampal neurogenesis is the secret ...
The Ship of Theseus thought experiment is used to question whether something can remain the same when every physical part has been replaced, and what that implies about human identity over time.
How can I heal faster? After an injury, surgery, persistent inflammation, or even an outbreak of acne, cell regeneration starts and the body goes into repair mode. It’s a complex, energy-intensive ...
Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...
A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...
If you thought body fat was just a passive storage depot for calories, think again. Research increasingly suggests that it plays an important role in our overall health, with two studies shedding new ...
Treating brain diseases is extraordinarily challenging, because drugs often work poorly and implants require risky surgery that can jeopardize critical brain functions. A group at MIT has sought a ...
Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...
Motor neurons are some of the largest cells in the human body. In particular, upper neurons—extending from the cerebral cortex to the brain stem or spinal cord—average 60μm in diameter. 3,4 These ...
