HANOVER, GERMANY: A mannequin is fitted with a prototype of a "mental typewriter", which is an EEG (Electro Encephalogramme Measurement) Cap that processes electric impulses from the brain into ...

Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at the Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The team ...

Trying to document how single brain cells participate in networks that govern behavior is a daunting task. Brain probes called Neuropixels, which feature high-density silicon arrays, have enabled ...

Scientists show that specifying the timing pattern of neurostimulation -- impulses used to activate the brain's own electrical signaling mechanisms -- can rebalance the strength of synaptic ...

How your brain hits the brakes on impulses New research is revealing how different brain regions work together to help us resist urges and make better decisions. Studies using EEG, fMRI, and animal ...

My brain injury in 2000 affected my balance and gait. Doctors assessed it by asking me to walk across a small room and back again. Aside from that observational method, which would not have apprised ...

Brain stimulation therapies use electrical currents to alter the brain’s activity. They can treat conditions such as major depression and substance misuse disorder. However, side effects such as ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

Researcher have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain that fires electrical impulses. The cells are hybrids, part neuron and part glia, and are present in both glioma, a type of brain tumor, ...
