Researchers have developed a neural implant that provides information about activity deep inside the brain while sitting on its surface. The implant is made up of a thin, transparent and flexible ...

Researcher Karl Deisseroth has a new way to improve brain imaging scans. The technique, published in the October issue of Scientific American, makes brain cells transparent by removing lipids, which ...

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.

Scientists have created a way to make a human brain transparent, enabling them to take deep three-dimensional tours through the mysterious organ and trace its circuitry down to the molecular level.

Scientists have developed a new technique to study the brain, by making it transparent. Using a post-mortem mouse brain, the researchers were able to use a water-based gel to prop up the structure of ...
