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

For decades, researchers have attempted to pinpoint the specific areas of the brain responsible for human intelligence. A new ...

A tiny blob of gelatinous tissue sitting in a dish represents a giant leap forward in human brain research. Known as an organoid, it's a living 3D model of a human organ; one of the first to ...

The brains of humans and other mammals contain a vast array of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. The human capacity to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on ...

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 ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

Rogier Mars receives funding from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) UK and the Medical Research Council (MRC) UK. Katherine Bryant does not work for, consult, own ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

In a groundbreaking leap forward for technology, Cortical Labs has unveiled the CL1, the world’s first commercial biological computer powered by living human brain cells. This revolutionary ...

The evolution of the human species is marked by an increase in brain size. Now new research suggests that could be partly ...
