This press release is available in German. On average, a single square centimeter of human skin contains over 300 receptors that register pain, pressure, heat or cold. Twenty-four hours a day, these ...

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

Scientists have built tiny living robots from frog embryo cells that spontaneously grow their own functional nervous systems, ...

Octopuses are not much like humans — they are invertebrates with eight arms, and more closely related to clams and snails. Still, they have evolved complex nervous systems and are capable of a wide ...

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

Octopuses are not much like humans — they are invertebrates with eight arms, and more closely related to clams and snails. Still, they have evolved complex nervous systems with as many neurons as in ...

Using the freshwater polyp Hydra as a model organism, researchers have investigated how the simple nervous system of these animals interacts with the microbiome. They were able to demonstrate, for the ...

Neuroanatomy is the study of the relationship between structure and function in the nervous system. Neuroanatomy includes the study of macroscopic and microscopic structures. Macroscopic structures ...
