Innovative technology such as artificial intelligence (AI), brain-computer interfaces and nanotechnology are accelerating neuroscience research in the quest for improving human health and daily lives.

One of the world's leading brain research centers is shifting away from fruit flies and toward a tiny, transparent fish. The ...

Making a living brain transparent and watching its neurons fire without disturbing their function—sounds like science fiction, doesn't it? Yet the solution may already exist within our own bodies. In ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a neural implant that provides information about activity deep inside the brain while sitting on its surface. The implant is made ...

Late one night at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan, Shigenori Inagaki, PhD, was stuck. For a year, he had been testing spherical polymers to make living brain tissue transparent, an idea his ...

In the first study of its kind, researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) designed and implanted a transparent window in the skull of a ...

Surgically implanted devices that allow paralyzed people to speak can also eavesdrop on their inner monologue. That's the conclusion of a study of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) in the journal Cell.

Three-dimensional fluorescence imaging of neurons in Layer 5 of the cerebral cortex, captured by two-photon microscopy in mice expressing a fluorescent protein (Thy1-EYFP-H). SeeDB-Live clearing ...
