Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...

In a small lab at the University of California, Santa Cruz, clusters of mouse brain cells have taken on a task normally reserved for computer algorithms: ...

Rice University neuroscientist Chong Xie leads a team that has won a $2.9 million grant from the NIH to develop a state-of-the-art implantable neural electrode system. HOUSTON – (July 17, 2024) – Rice ...

Researchers used 3D printing and capillary action to create customizable neural chips, expanding design freedom for brain research, biosensors and biocomputing. (Nanowerk News) Cultured neural tissues ...

When a vertebrate embryo develops, a group of cells self-organizes into the neural tube, eventually becoming the brain and the spinal cord. This involves specific signals, but how these signals are ...
