A mathematical algorithm developed by the Blue Brain Project can objectively classify different shapes of neurons in the brain. The algorithm has already helped researchers objectively identify 17 types of pyramidal neurons in the somatosensory cortex of a rat.
A new prosthetic hand enables amputees to regain a subtle, close to natural, sense of touch.
Researchers have identified a mechanism by which immune system problems can cause commensal dysbiosis, which promotes age related pathologies.
According to researchers, 10% of young children have trouble learning to write. EPFL researchers have developed new software that can analyze a child's writing disability and the cause with precision.
Regardless of social context, highly dominant males respond faster in situations where decisions need to be made, a new study reports.
A new study reports amputees often feel as though their prosthetic limb is part of their body.
Researchers have identified some of the key neurobiological mechanisms that help keep aggression under control. The findings could help develop targeted treatments to help those with aggressive problems associated with psychological disorders.
Researchers have identified neurons in the dentate gyrus that help to reprogram lasting traumatic memories.
Training tetraplegic patients to compete in an online competition to control an avatar with BCI, researchers report the most dramatic improvements in computer augmented performance occurs when both humans and machines are able to learn.
Using electrochemical stimulation and robot assisted rehabilitation techniques, researchers restore walking ability in a paraplegic rat. The study reports reorganization of neural branching in the reticular formation leads to new connections and is key to motor skill recovery.
Boosting mitochondria may defend against a form of protein stress that can reduce the formation of amyloid plaques, EPFL researchers report.
Researchers report they have discovered a way for humans to maintain control over artificial intelligent robots.
