Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

But researchers were concerned about whether this procedure might have other, less desirable effects. What happens when the right and left sides of the cerebral cortex—responsible for an enormous ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

The brain is our body’s command center, the control tower for our body and mind—no wonder it’s the focus of intense research across the globe, with so much interest in figuring out the mysteries of ...

Your brain is constantly evolving. Throughout your life, it reshapes, adjusts, and grows stronger in response to learning, new experiences, and your habits. This amazing shape-shifting ability is ...

Japanese scientists have created miniature human brain circuits by joining lab-grown thalamus and cortex models from stem ...

In the mice with large-brain primate microbes, the researchers found increased expression of genes associated with energy ...

Synaptic plasticity allows brains to learn, adapt, and rewire. It’s foundational to memory, problem-solving, and complex ...

A technology which uses harmless light waves to measure activity in babies' brains has provided the most complete picture to date of brain functions like hearing, vision and cognitive processing ...

The Signature Courses at the University of Texas at Austin are a form of required course for all undergraduate students on a variety of topics, giving first-year students an opportunity to closely ...
