Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...

Japanese scientists have successfully created miniature human brain circuits in the laboratory using small lab-grown brain models known as assembloids. These assembloids are made from stem cells that ...

Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, ...

With only a few hours before the neurons begin to die, Watson and his team work quickly. They slice the tissue, attach electrodes, and observe neurons firing in real-time. Eventually, they compare ...

By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD By seamlessly tracking brain growth from the womb into early life, researchers uncover when key brain regions surge and how subtle sex differences emerge before birth. Study: ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...
