Fluorescent microscopy image of a section of mouse brain. Green is a conventional brain ECM marker. Magenta is the new tool developed by the researchers. Between and around the billions of neurons in ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see -- but it's been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers ...

This is an important study on the sensory roles of Cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CBF-cn) in mammals. The authors identify PKD2L1 as the predominant pH-sensing channel CBF-cn and show how the ...

Various environmental stimuli, such as touch, heat, and pain, trigger nerve cells known as sensory neurons. They are commonly used in microfluidic devices for cosmetic testing, pain models, and ...

What began with a sliver of brain tissue no larger than a grain of sand has culminated in a scientific achievement once deemed impossible. A global team of researchers has unveiled the most intricate ...

Brain implants have improved dramatically in recent years, but they’re still invasive and unreliable. A new kind of brain-machine interface using living neurons to form connections could be the future ...
