A 3D model accurately mimicking the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) in a laboratory environment has been successfully developed by research teams led by Professor Jinah Jang from the Departments of ...

A 3D-printed 'brain phantom' has been developed, which is modeled on the structure of brain fibers and can be imaged using a special variant of magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). The scientific team ...

Soft electrodes designed to perfectly match a person's brain surface may help advance neural interfaces for neurodegenerative ...

University of Missouri researchers are developing new ways to better simulate the complex nature of human brain tissue. For years, scientists have worked to uncover how the brain responds to ...

Researchers use a special tool called a microtome to cut sections from a brain preserved in paraffin wax into tiny slivers 20-micromters thick.Image courtesy of Amunts, Ziles, Evans, et. al BigBrain, ...

Neurons are the cells in the brain responsible for sending messages to the rest of the body, and scientists have long thought that they are settled into one subtype once they develop from stem cells, ...

Researchers have created the first complete atlas of cells in the mouse brain, revealing an incredible 5,322 cell types 1, 2. The work, spanning ten papers — nine of them published by Nature on 13 ...
