A research team has developed a three-dimensional neural electrode that deforms smoothly using soft actuation technology. It is expected to be used in various next-generation soft bioelectronic ...

Understanding the neural interface within the brain is critical to understanding aging, learning, disease progression and more. A newly developed, pop-up electrode device could gather more in-depth ...

Rice University neuroscientist Chong Xie leads a team that has won a $2.9 million grant from the NIH to develop a state-of-the-art implantable neural electrode system. HOUSTON – (July 17, 2024) – Rice ...

Memory loss, tremors, paralysis: When parts of the nervous system start to break down—or get broken—the consequences for human health can be staggering. Can we fix the nervous system, and how are ...

Researchers have used a novel manufacturing technique to create a minimally invasive, customizable sensor that can wirelessly record deep brain activity down to a resolution of one or two neurons. The ...

Understanding the neural interface within the brain is critical to understanding aging, learning, disease progression and more. Existing methods for studying neurons in animal brains to better ...

What little scientists know about how human neurons function in vivo comes from resections of brain tissue in people with cancer or intractable epilepsy. Scientists slice these biopsies, keep the ...
