Researchers who previously discovered channels in the skull have found that cerebrospinal fluid can exit the brain through these channels to reach the skull's bone marrow, which can detect and respond ...

The finding of a new study could advance the development of new drugs that block or open such signaling channels to treat conditions as varied as epilepsy and some intellectual disorders. In an effort ...

In an effort to understand how brain cells exchange chemical messages, scientists say they have successfully used a highly specialized microscope to capture more precise details of how one of the most ...

China, by contrast, is pursuing a state-led coordinated approach that integrates policy planning, clinical validation, and ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have identified the proteins that allow specific brain cells to "change channels," a rare ability that tweaks what can come into the cell. The findings, described in the ...

Scientists have long wondered about the network of pathways in the brain that is believed to clear metabolic wastes. Wastes include proteins such as amyloid and tau, which have been shown to form ...

Neuralink showed off its implantable device which is slightly larger than a quarter. They showed the device working in several monkeys and they showed the surgical robot that will be used to implant ...

Nature is everywhere gothic, not classic. She forms a real jungle, where all things are provisional, half-fitted to each other, and untidy.—William James New discoveries about the gut-brain axis ...

By directly communicating with the brain, a new wireless device could someday help restore lost senses or manage pain without ...
