Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing ...

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don't just imitate the brain—they talk to it. In a new ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

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 ...

A team at Northwestern University has fabricated artificial neurons by printing them onto flexible plastic, and the tiny ...
