Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

A new study from the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute now shows how human stem cell based therapy may help repair damaged brain circuits. The research explains how transplanted cells ...

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, USA – July 8, 2025 – Genomic Press today published in Genomic Psychiatry an in-depth interview with Dr. Xuyu Qian, Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, complete with blueprints, zoning rules, and emergent neighborhoods that ...

New research reveals the unique human ability to conceptualize numbers may be rooted deep within the brain. New research reveals the unique human ability to conceptualize numbers may be rooted deep ...

Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...
