Researchers at Georgia Tech have now developed a chip that accurately replicates its function using the human cells that form this important part of our anatomy.

Artificial neurons developed to cure chronic diseases

For the first time researchers successfully reproduced the electrical properties of biological neurons onto semiconductor chips.

Biosensor may help guide treatment of Alzheimer’s

Researchers have created biosensor technology that may help lead to safe stem cell therapies for treating Parkinson’s diseases.

AI could change managing of Alzheimer’s disease

A study from Florida Atlantic University introduces machine learning as new potantial tactic in assessing cognitive brain health and patient care.

VR spots navigation problems in Alzheimer’s disease

VR can identify early Alzheimer’s disease more accurately than ‘gold standard’ cognitive tests currently in use, suggests new research from the University of Cambridge.
