For people with paralysis or amputation, neuroprosthetic systems that artificially stimulate muscle contraction with electrical current can help them regain limb function. However, despite many years ...

In what could one day become a new treatment for epilepsy, researchers at UC San Francisco, UC Santa Cruz, and UC Berkeley have used pulses of light to prevent seizure-like activity in neurons. The ...

Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have studied the impact of two brain areas on the nature of memory content. The team from the Department of Neurophysiology showed in rats how the ...

Researchers developed a way to help people with amputation or paralysis regain limb control. Their optogenetic technique could offer more precise control over muscle contraction, along with a dramatic ...

Scientists at Scripps Research Institute have created a groundbreaking method to track when brain cell activity decreases or switches off after a burst of activity using a combination of optogenetics ...

Researchers developed an advanced AI system named YORU that can identify specific animal behaviors with over 90% accuracy ...

Using optogenetics, researchers used pulses of light to prevent seizure-like activity in neurons. This is the first use of optogenetics to modulate seizure activity at the network level in human brain ...

Biomanufacturing technology provider Prolific Machines raised $55 million in Series B1 funding, which will go to support the commercialization of its light-based biotech platform, company Co-founder ...

A novel optogenetic screening platform enables control over previously intractable biological systems. Using the screening platform, scientists have been able to selectively activate the integrated ...

In what could one day become a new treatment for epilepsy, researchers have used pulses of light to prevent seizure-like activity in neurons. In what could one day become a new treatment for epilepsy, ...

MIT researchers have developed a way to help people with amputation or paralysis regain limb control. Instead of using electricity to stimulate muscles, they used light. Here, Guillermo Herrera-Arcos ...
