University of Missouri researchers are developing new ways to better simulate the complex nature of human brain tissue. For ...

New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during ...

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

Studies on the neurons of mice suggest our own human endurance may have more to do with the brain than our physique.

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 decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull.

New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during ...

A groundbreaking brain atlas maps nearly 680,000 cells to reveal how the human brain develops at the single-cell level. The discovery could transform Parkinson’s research by setting new standards for ...

These changes aren’t permanent – the brain goes gradually back to normal after coming back to Earth. Understanding the ...

Every year, around 15 million babies worldwide are born before 37 weeks of gestation. Being born preterm can disrupt development, and earlier births increase the risk of life-changing health outcomes.

Human evolution has long been tied to growing brain size, and new research suggests prenatal hormones may have played a surprising role. By studying the relative lengths of index and ring fingers — a ...

Researchers from Sweden have discovered that the human brain continues to grow new cells in the memory region—called the hippocampus—even into old age. Using advanced tools to examine brain samples ...
