MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Having a smoother brain surface could reveal your likelihood of developing major depressive disorder (MDD), according to a new study. The outer layer of the brain, called the cerebral cortex, is ...

Finding ways to reduce the invasiveness of brain implants could greatly expand their potential applications. A new device tested in mice that sits on the brain’s surface—but can still read activity ...

Imagine the brain as an atlas of possibilities and risks. Genetic variants linked to depression affect its shape, subtly ...

To understand how the brain works, scientists often use neuroimaging to record participants’ brain activity when the brain is performing a task or at rest. Researchers often use what is called a ...

The morphogenesis of brain folding patterns across species is studied by physical gel models, simulations, and a quantitative morphometric analysis.

Modern technology for recording deep-brain activity involves sharp metal electrodes that penetrate the tissue, causing damage that can compromise the signal and limiting how often they can be used. A ...

A new, high-performance brain-computer interface (BCI) can be rapidly implanted through a minimally invasive procedure. The ...

BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) -- At a busy imaging lab at the University of California, Berkeley researchers are preparing for a journey to unmapped corners of the human brain. To get there, the team led by ...

Transcranial focused ultrasound, a non-invasive technique to stimulate specific areas of the brain using high-frequency sound waves, could be a promising treatment strategy for many neurological ...

Imagined receiving – or being born with – a life sentence with no possibility of parole. The prison will be your own body.

Prof Brennan uses a surgical drill to remove a flap of skull. The exposed brain is pink, flushed with blood, and gently ...
