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

It's hard to take electrical measurements of what a single neuron is doing, especially while it's still alive and wired up to its fellows. To move beyond historically difficult and damaging methods of ...

Researchers have used a novel manufacturing technique to create a minimally invasive, customizable sensor that can wirelessly record deep brain activity down to a resolution of one or two neurons. The ...

A paper by researchers in the Department of Mathematics that could impact the way neuron-to-neuron communications are mapped was recently published in the Nature journal Communications Physics. The ...

The technique for inducing differentiation of human motor neurons used in this paper clearly shows neuronal electrical activity. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy ...

A new ultra-small and ultra-flexible electronic neural implant, delivered via blood vessels, can record single-neuron activity deep within the brains of rats, according to new study. "This technology ...

While the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia are still largely unknown, researchers have been able to identify a key characteristic in affected brains: ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – A paper by researchers in the University at Buffalo’s Department of Mathematics that could impact the way neuron-to-neuron communications are mapped was recently published in the ...
