Research has shown that gut microbes can influence several aspects of the host’s life, including aging. Given the complexity and heterogeneity of the human gut environment, elucidating how a specific ...

A new state-of-the-art brain imaging technique could, someday, make fMRI neuroimaging technology and current optogenetic methods seem antiquated. This week, a team of Caltech researchers from the ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Neuroscientists are eagerly, but not always successfully, looking for proof that optogenetics – a celebrated technique that uses pulses of visible light to ...

A minimally invasive optogenetic technique that does not require brain implants successfully manipulated the activity of neurons in mice and monkeys, researchers report. The researchers first ...

It’s a pretty universal opinion that mosquitoes are a pest of monumental proportions that serve little function globally, save to spread disease. However, investigators at the Weizmann Institute of ...

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 ...
