MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

“This is a paradigm shift,” says Donn Van Deren, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, who ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

Researchers studying the human brain shared a lot of fascinating research this year, like how to keep brains young and how to ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

Scientists are still debating whether the human brain is capable of growing new cells past childhood. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism ...

Clearing out “aged” brain cells dramatically reduced seizures and restored memory in a new epilepsy study.

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...
