The ascending somatosensory pathways are responsible for conveying environmental and bodily sensory information from the peripheral organs to the central nervous system. Somatosensory neurons, whose ...

The functional complexity and anatomical organization of the nervous system are established during regional patterning of its embryonic precursor—the neural tube. Human pluripotent stem (hPS) ...

Cambridge researchers created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab that can send signals and even trigger tiny muscle contractions. They discovered that human neurons gradually lose ...

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, ...

In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...

A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Sometimes in the rush to explore our interactions with neural nets (often in the form of LLMs) we forget to think about our own operating system and how it works. Of course, scientists did spend a lot ...

Neurologists use millisecond-level M/EEG tracking to prove the human brain and AI language models organize and predict language using parallel processing principles.

Summary: Researchers unmasked the hidden mechanisms that allow the Ebola virus to survive undetected inside the human central nervous system for months or years. The international investigation ...
