Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

Deep inside the brain, every thought and memory begins with a burst of electrical activity. For years, scientists have tried ...

Fiber-optic technology revolutionized the telecommunications industry and may soon do the same for brain research. A group of researchers from Washington University in St. Louis in both the McKelvey ...

What if we could peer into the brain and watch how it organizes information as we act, perceive, or make decisions? A new study has introduced a method that does exactly this—not just by looking at ...

Neural network models that are able to make decisions or store memories have long captured scientists' imaginations. In these ...

Thermal sensations are consciously differentiated as hot or cold by the brain; however, the neural mechanism that enables this differentiation is not well understood. To address this, researchers have ...

For the first time, researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and Amsterdam UMC have identified what happens in neural networks deep within the brain during obsessive thoughts and ...
