A dish of living human neurons has been taught to play Doom. No, it isn’t conscious or watching the screen the way players do. But it is learning to respond to signals in a way that produces ...

Scientists have successfully connected living human brain cells to a computer system and taught them to interact with the classic video game DOOM. The strange experiment marks a new step toward ...

"If the neurons fire in a specific pattern, the Doom guy shoots." The post Researchers Get Human Brain Cells Running Doom ...

Studying the process of brain formation illuminates just how much of development is a series of tiny miracles. Only a few weeks after a human egg is fertilized, a sheet of cells called the neural ...

How do biological cells join forces to form a structure? In her Ph.D. research, Daphne Nesenberend uses mathematics to show ...

Researchers are learning how to refill the energy reserves of aging human cells, turning a long-standing metaphor about “cellular batteries” into a literal engineering challenge. By training healthy ...

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...
