University of Rochester researchers have demonstrated a noninvasive method using BL-OG, or bioluminescent optogenetics, that harnesses light to activate neurons in the brain. The ability to regulate ...

Unlearning fear responses is a fundamental learning process in the brain. It allows us to flexibly react to formerly ...

Researchers at Linköping University have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. Researchers at Linköping ...

Scientists from the University of Bochum have shown that the process of getting rid of fear can be significantly accelerated by activating certain neurons in the brain. This discovery could be an ...

Top) 1. Selective expression of nano-magnetoreceptors only in desired target neurons in a mouse model with applied Cre-loxP genetic engineering technology. 2. When rotational magnetic field ...

A new brain device from Northwestern University is asking a daring question: what if information could reach your brain without ever passing through your eyes, ears, or skin? In a study, scientists ...

Researchers use biocompatible polydopamine nanoparticles and near-infrared light to remotely trigger activity in neuron and muscle cells with minimal side effects. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Remote control ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study publishing February 12 in the Cell Press journal Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from ...

Researchers have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. Controlling the concentration of different ions can ...
