Making a living brain transparent and watching its neurons fire without disturbing their function—sounds like science fiction, doesn't it? Yet the solution may already exist within our own bodies. In ...

Innovative technology such as artificial intelligence (AI), brain-computer interfaces and nanotechnology are accelerating neuroscience research in the quest for improving human health and daily lives.

Researchers have developed a neural implant that provides information about activity deep inside the brain while sitting on its surface. The implant is made up of a thin, transparent and flexible ...

Researchers have created a thin transparent neural implant that can monitor activity on the brain's surface but also account for functions at a deeper level. The hope is that it will lead to an ...

In the first study of its kind, researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) designed and implanted a transparent window in the skull of a ...

Yesterday, Stanford researcher Karl Deisseroth and his lab published the most detailed images of whole mouse brains that we have seen to date. To understand how this was achieved, we need look no ...

LOS ANGELES — Scientists have created a way to make a human brain transparent, enabling them to take deep three-dimensional tours through the mysterious organ and trace its circuitry down to the ...
