In 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it would be impossible to create an accurate diagram of the brain’s wiring and neuronal activity—even within just a cubic millimeter of brain tissue. Now, a ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens ...
