Our hearts are primarily controlled by the brain and autonomic nervous system, but we also have a backup. The heart has its own mini-brain called the intracardiac nervous system (ICN), which fine ...

Dr. Albert Rhoton of the University of Florida has collected an unparalleled library of brain-anatomy images. Available in 3D online through iTunes University, the images allow surgeons to view ...

After three years of intensive data-gathering and careful drawing, the mapmakers' work was complete. The complex terrain they charted, with all its peaks, valleys and borders, is only about half an ...

The brain is an organ made up of a large mass of nerve tissue protected within the skull. It plays a role in just about every major body system. Some of the brain’s main functions include: The ...

Researchers have produced an engineered tissue representing a simplified cerebral cortex by 3D printing human stem cells. When implanted into mouse brain slices, the structures became integrated with ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers fabricated cerebral cortical tissues in three dimensions (3D) and functionally integrated them into a brain lesion in mice. Study: ...

What just happened? Researchers have reconstructed a minuscule piece of the human brain down to the level of individual synapses, representing a giant leap forward for brain science. And we're not ...

A recent study published in Nature Communications demonstrated how droplet-based three-dimensional (3D) printing could help fabricate cerebral cortex tissues comprising layer-specific neurons ...
