New research shows that the brain’s cortex can rapidly reorganize itself after losing neurons, allowing other nerve cells to take over lost functions.

With the aid of a 3D printer, researchers at Uppsala University have succeeded in creating a model that resembles human nerve ...

Researchers are developing promising suppression systems for painful conditions—even an app on your phone that turns the pain off.
