Researchers have grown mini brains with light-sensitive eye structures that could lead to breakthrough treatments for vision disorders.

A new brain implant can instantly detect pain signals and provide bursts of stimulation that are pain-relieving. Researchers have shown it to be successful in rodents.

A new kind of brain-computer interface uses tiny neural implants called “neurograins” to record brain activity in rats.

Fecal transplants from younger to older mice appear to reverse aging in the brains of the seniors, improving their memories and cognition.

A small phase 2 study has found evidence that ALS medication riluzole may have potential as a drug for Alzheimer’s.

The first neuron-level 3D image of an entire macaque monkey brain could have a major impact on the world of neuroscience.

Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have developed an injectable swarm of nanosenors they hope will measure the brain noninvasively.

A new brain tumor treatment shrank a man’s aggressive glioblastoma tumor by nearly a third — and all he had to do was wear a helmet at home.

An experimental neuroprosthesis that translates brain activity into words on a computer screen has given a paralyzed man back his “voice.”

What if amyloid plaques are not the cause of Alzheimer’s, but instead a symptom? New research suggests restoring liquid amyloid may be key.
