A new bioengineered neuronal circuit board "BioConNet" allows scientists to artificially engineer human brain-like wiring at scale and can be used to engineer any possible circuit. The fully ...

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The study found that a simplified artificial ...

A research team has created 20 new recombinant rabies viral vectors for neural circuit mapping that offer a range of significant advantages over existing tools, including the ability to detect ...

A new study identifies a neuronal circuit from the motor cortex to the insular cortex, offering a new target for non-invasive ...

Synthetic Trogocytosis (SynTrogo) enables the "nibbling" of neuronal membranes by astrocytes through engineered ligand and receptor proteins. Upon SynTrogo induction, the synaptic density of the ...

Zebrafish, photographed with confocal microscope. The brain region that controls eye movement is structurally similar in fish and mammals, but the zebrafish system contains only 500 neurons, making it ...
