While early in life, the accumulation of iron appears to have little effect on neuron function, later in life, it can ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the processing of sensory information, the encoding of memories, attention ...

Brain function requires exquisitely adapted plasticity at multiple scales, from synapses to whole-brain networks. Evidence for large-scale plasticity in functional brain networks comes from ...

Cognitive impairment is associated with perturbations of fine-tuned neuroimmune interactions. At the molecular level, alterations in cellular metabolism can compromise brain function, driving ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate communication network is built of billions of neurons connected by synapses ...

Neurosurgeons achieve first-in-human implant of Paradromics' wireless Connexus BCI to restore speech in ALS patient.

For decades, depression has been explained to patients as a “chemical imbalance” in the brain, a vague phrase that never specified which chemicals, in which cells, were going wrong. A study published ...

Neurosurgeons at University of Michigan Health completed the first-in-human implant of a Paradromics Inc., wireless brain-computer interface, or BCI, as part of a national clinical trial for patients ...
