Neural tissue normally dies quickly without oxygen. Yet bird retinas—among the most energy-demanding tissues in the animal ...

Bird retinas survive without oxygen by burning sugar scientists solve 300 year mystery that could help treat human strokes.

A salt-grain-sized neural implant can record and transmit brain activity wirelessly for extended periods. Researchers at Cornell University, working with collaborators, have created an extremely small ...

The human brain is complex. Understanding deep brain function usually requires the insertion of probes that frequently result ...

The discovery fundamentally changes the understanding of a structure in the avian eye that has been misinterpreted for centuries.

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

Find out how stainless steel neural probes reduce brain damage risks while enabling safer, deeper, and more reliable neural ...

The brain is probably the least explored organ, much of which is due to the difficulty of studying it in situ rather than in slices under a microscope. Even growing small organoids out of neurons ...
