Understanding the principles that underlie the assembly of cells into tissues and of tissues into organs is a fundamental goal in biology. Such understanding requires not just observation, but also ...

Scientists at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan have developed a new method for creating transparent tissue that can be used to illuminate 3D brain anatomy at high resolutions. Published in ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed unique, interactive, 3D narrated diagrams to help students learn about the structure and function of perceptual systems in the human brain. A new study exploring how ...

Poultry scientists are unraveling the complexities of bird brains and finding less expensive ways to do it. The scientists mapped the intricate neurological pathways that control vision in chickens ...

All the Latest Game Footage and Images from Brain Training 3D Following on from the global phenomenon that was Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training for the DS, we bring you a new brain training game now in ...

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a newly developed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that analyzes the anatomy of nerve cells and a complex neuronal network of the brain. DTI technique was ...

Even cardiologists might not know — or pay attention to — the intracardiac nervous system. This “little brain of the heart” is a system of nerves working in concert with the brain itself to keep ...
