A key protein expressed in epithelial “skin” cells plays a critical role in protecting the structure and function of cells in the nervous system of a model nematode, a type of worm, according to new ...

Your autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the part of your central nervous system (CNS) that controls unconscious activities like breathing and digestion. This system is always working, whether or not ...

Scientists create living robots with nervous systems, revealing how neurons grow, connect and shape movement in a new biological model.

For over half a billion years, evolution has sculpted the nervous systems of bilaterian animals, equipping them with remarkable capabilities to process information, coordinate movements, and respond ...

A new study demonstrated that introducing neurons into Xenopus-derived biobots led to the self-organization of active neural ...

An adult specimen of the comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi seen from above. In the center of the image, it is possible to ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers demonstrate that functional nervous systems can form within self-organized living 'neurobots'.

Neurobiology profoundly influences our lives, impacting our health, thoughts, emotions, and behaviours (see How Our Neurobiology Shapes Our Daily Lives; Pang, 2023). Despite its importance, our ...
