National Institutes of Health-funded scientists have developed a 3D micro-scaffold technology that promotes reprogramming of stem cells into neurons, and supports growth of neuronal connections ...
New memristor-based artificial neurons emit light to enable denser, more efficient 3D AI chips, pointing to a future beyond ...
3D rendering of the ~100 motor neurons of the fruit fly brain. These neurons control the fly’s mouth parts. The colours correspond to the nerve they project through. Credit: Data source: FlyWire.ai; ...
To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...
Scientists have mapped out how 140,000 neurons are wired in the brain of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. By Carl Zimmer A fruit fly’s brain is smaller than a poppy seed, but it packs ...
Cancer cells actively release growth factors that stimulate nerve growth in the tumour microenvironment, propelling tumour progression. Now, writing in Nature, Padmanaban et al. have identified a ...
