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.

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...

We have long believed that brain growth stops and aging begins once we pass the age of 20. However, a study by British ...

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

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 ...

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and ...

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...

A crushed ancient skull may hold clues to the origins of ancient humans. Digital reconstruction of a crushed skull from an ancient human relative could rewrite the timeline of human evolution, ...

The brain implant is an ultra-thin chip designed to create a fast, wireless link between the human brain and artificial ...
