They’re growing miniature 3D brains from stem cells. These aren’t your fictional mad scientists’ brains in a vat; they’re ...

An early-stage study has found that a common chemotherapy drug disrupts lymphatic cells in the tissue surrounding the brain.

Neuroscience has long worshiped the neocortex—the brain’s hub for sophisticated thought. But consciousness may originate ...

Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

The most dangerous animal in the world just got easier to study—and perhaps defeat one day. Researchers from Rockefeller ...

In a separate 2024 study, researchers also made mice temporarily transparent. The study, published in Science, showed that ...

Tiny brain-like organoids are emerging as living computers with vast potential to transform healthcare, data processing, and ...

While brain clocks can be used to measure brain health (accelerated or delayed brain ageing), the biophysical models can ...

Scientists found that ancient lead exposure shaped early human evolution. The toxin may have played a surprising role in the development of modern cognition and language. An international team of ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture.
