Scientists are testing whether GLP-1 drugs can help to cut cravings for cigarettes, alcohol and opioids — as well as food.

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

Schizophrenia is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by hallucinations, false beliefs about oneself or the world (i.e., delusions), and other disruptions in thought, emotion and ...

Microplastics have moved from distant ocean gyres into the most intimate of places: the human brain. A growing body of ...

BISC is an ultra-thin neural implant that creates a high-bandwidth wireless link between the brain and computers. Its tiny single-chip design packs tens of thousands of electrodes and supports ...
