Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

New research shows gut bacteria can directly influence how the brain develops and functions. When scientists transferred ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...

An international research team has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin—DNA and proteins—plays a ...

Synaptic plasticity allows brains to learn, adapt, and rewire. It’s foundational to memory, problem-solving, and complex ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a new study from Case Western ...
