NeuroXess, a Chinese startup, has made two major breakthroughs in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, coming to the aid of a brain-damaged patient. The first was its ability to decode ...

But scientists have long assumed that bacteria can’t survive in the human brain. The powerful blood-brain barrier, the thinking goes, keeps the organ mostly free from outside invaders.

Whoever thinks research is not exciting might be in for a surprise. In 2025, we could witness genetic decoding of the human brain, collect solar energy in space, and walk across a bridge built of ...

Memory is what makes us human. While other animals also have the ability to learn ... presence of malignant cells and stop responding to them. Memory extends beyond the brain, and research in simpler ...

In 2023, since a brain implant allowed a paralysed man to walk at a research institute in Switzerland, a flurry of research is continuing in this field. Elon Musk’s Neuralink recently got ...

Previous research has found differences in gene expression between humans and chimpanzees, and that human cells tend to have higher gene expression, but the picture was blurry. The brain is made ...

Research shows that human brain cells, particularly glial cells, exhibit higher levels of upregulated genes, enhancing neural plasticity and development. Oligodendrocytes, a glial cell type, play a ...

mice across 16 broad brain regions. The aged mice are what scientists consider to be the equivalent of a late middle-aged human. Mouse brains share many similarities with human brains in terms of ...
