In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly.

How does the neural tube close? A new study uses physics-based modeling to reveal the actin "purse-string" mechanism and cellular coordination that prevents spina bifida.

Melbourne, Australia - 12 August 2025 - Researchers have demonstrated that brain cells learn faster and carry out complex networking more effectively than machine learning by comparing how both a ...

Neural organoids have been heralded as having huge potential for advancing our knowledge of the brain in several fields. These include exploring the responses of brain tissue to drugs, investigating ...

DishBrain, an in vitro synthetic biological intelligence (SBI) assay embodying a neural system in a simulated game-world, enables the quantification of this information-processing capacity, however ...

Millions of neurons branch throughout our bodies, keeping them in close communication with our brains. This peripheral ...

Scientists studying human neural organoids could only record and stimulate activity from limited regions because conventional flat electronics do not conform well to the tissues’ three-dimensional, ...

A new study demonstrated that introducing neurons into Xenopus-derived biobots led to the self-organization of active neural ...
