Researchers build living neurobots that form functional nervous systems
Scientists have built tiny living robots from frog embryo cells that spontaneously grow their own functional nervous systems, ...
Researchers have discovered that an FDA-approved drug acts on support cells in the central nervous system to encourage sensory neurons to regrow after injury. A spinal cord injury damages the lines of ...

Scientists build living robots with nervous systems
“Neurobots” wire self-organizing circuits, pointing the way to programmable biological machines ...
Neurons from grafted stem cells contain intrinsic codes for navigating and forming connections, which may improve cell therapy for a brain short-circuited by stroke. Some parts of our bodies bounce ...
In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers demonstrate that functional nervous systems can form within self-organized living ...
The brain has many regions that perform different functions. Have students use a map of the brain and brain stem to locate these regions: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe, ...
In a review published in the journal Advanced Science, researchers discussed the interplay of the immune system and the sympathetic regulation of vital metabolic organs such as the pancreas, intestine ...
The glial cells of the nervous system have been eclipsed in importance by neurons for decades. But glia are turning out to be central to many neurological functions, including pain perception. The ...
Once viewed only as power generators, mitochondria are now understood to play a role in mental illness. Their ability to ...
