Before scientists can unlock the secrets of the human brain, they must fully understand neurons—the cells of our brain, spinal cord and overall nervous system. Thousands of detailed neuron ...

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are contributing to the BigNeuron project, a community effort to define and advance the state of the art of single neuron reconstruction and ...

With the aid of a 3D printer, researchers at Uppsala University have succeeded in creating a model that resembles human nerve tissue.

Neuron-D, a start-up in Dresden, Germany, wants to change this with a hydrogel-based 3D cell-culture model in which neurons behave more as they do in people. Read more about The Spinoff Prize ...

3D-printed brain-like model helps unlock neuron growth secrets. ... (TU Delft) have developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' where neurons grow similarly to a real brain.

Digital tracing of 3D neuron structures is important toward reverse building the brain wiring. Moreover, whole neuron tracking and quantification can be critical in neuron growth or/and regeneration ...
