A 3D model accurately mimicking the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) in a laboratory environment has been successfully developed by research teams led by Professor Jinah Jang from the Departments of ...

Researchers use a special tool called a microtome to cut sections from a brain preserved in paraffin wax into tiny slivers 20-micromters thick.Image courtesy of Amunts, Ziles, Evans, et. al BigBrain, ...

University of Missouri researchers are developing new ways to better simulate the complex nature of human brain tissue. For years, scientists have worked to uncover how the brain responds to ...

A 3D-printed 'brain phantom' has been developed, which is modeled on the structure of brain fibers and can be imaged using a special variant of magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). The scientific team ...

Soft electrodes designed to perfectly match a person's brain surface may help advance neural interfaces for neurodegenerative ...

In a joint project between MedUni Vienna and TU Wien, the world's first 3D-printed "brain phantom" has been developed, which is modeled on the structure of brain fibers and can be imaged using a ...

Scientists have developed the largest and most detailed computational models of rat hippocampal and somatosensory cortex regions to date. They have released these models and the tools for their use to ...

Scientists have built a working simulation of an entire adult fruit fly brain and connected it to a physics-based virtual body, producing what amounts to a digital insect that can process sensory ...

Efforts to identify and evaluate next-generation therapeutics for pediatric brain tumors are easily stymied by the quality ...

The 10-year funding period for the Human Brain Project (HBP) may have come to an end, but what has been achieved in this time will continue to benefit the field. Over the last 10 years, 155 ...
