Flexible electrodes were implanted into tadpole embryos when they were days old - Liu Lab/Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Cyborg tadpoles with electrodes grown into their brains ...

Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

How does our brain, which is capable of generating complex thoughts, actions and even self-reflection, grow out of essentially nothing? An experiment in tadpoles, in which an electronic implant was ...

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

Below is a guide on how to choose the appropriate markers to label neuroepithelial cells. The neural plate and the neural tube, during embryonic development, are formed by neuroepithelial (NE) cells ...
