New photoacoustic probes are allowing scientists to explore deeper into the brain as they can label and visualise neurons. Here, the scientific illustration features their novel photoacoustic dye that ...

Neuroscientists have sought to better understand brain function but lacked the capability to observe neuronal activity deep within the brain. Scientists have applied rational molecular engineering to ...

To understand the brain better, we need new methods to observe its activity. That is at the heart of a molecular engineering project, spearheaded by two research groups at the European Molecular ...

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and at the University of Southern California (USC), have developed a small ultrasound sticker that can be worn on the skin to monitor the ...

A small ultrasound sticker, worn on the skin, can monitor the stiffness of organs deep inside the body. The sensor could detect signs of disease such as liver and kidney failure, and the progression ...

Scientists have discovered a universal pattern of brain waves in multiple primate species, including humans. This pattern of electrical activity is seen in the six layers of tissue that cover the ...
