A recent study suggests that the human brain emerges from two separate organs, a discovery that may impact future treatments ...

Scientists have grown human brain tissue to fill most of a mouse’s cortex, creating a new model for studying brain disease and neural circuits.

Findings published in Cell and Science uncover metabolic and physical cues that influence which cell types radial glia produce in the developing human cortex In two new studies, UCLA researchers used ...

The technology to truly understand the human brain is almost here. Within two years, researchers could have working prototypes of a platform that combines artificial intelligence with living brain ...

Fruit, honey and other naturally sweet foods may have helped fuel the evolution of the human brain, according to new research from the University of Sydney and the University of Glasgow. Published in ...

Neuroscientists have made a major advance in modeling the human brain in mice, offering a new way to study conditions like cerebral palsy. Ethicists ask if it changes how these mice should be treated.

It started with a stroke of serendipity. Naomi Eisenberger ’97, M.A. ’00, Ph.D. ’05, then a graduate student, was analyzing brain scan data from a study of the neural activity that occurs when people ...

As the human brain takes shape before birth, a remarkable type of stem cell helps give it many of the features that make it distinctly human. These cells, called radial glia, make billions of ...
