The human brain begins developing along two distinct paths, a discovery that could help scientists grow hard-to-make neurons in the lab.

For decades, the prevailing model held that a single kind of progenitor, or precursor, cell gave rise to the entire brain.

As reported by NPR, Sergiu Pașca, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University, and his team ...

Researchers have developed a new method to study the developing human brain by growing human brain tissue inside the skulls ...

The human brain continues to develop for two decades. To study this prolonged process, researchers have traditionally relied on donated human brain tissue and animal models, both of which have ...

Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) variability reflects meaningful brain activity, yet its structural and biological correlates during early development remain unknown. Using longitudinal ...

Scientists have grown human brain tissue to fill most of a mouse’s cortex, creating a new model for studying brain disease and neural circuits.

New research suggests that the human brain starts as two separate developmental systems. These findings reframe long-held ...

New research involving giving mice a human cell-based cortex brings to mind “Flowers for Algernon” and “Pinky and the Brain,” ...

The neonatal period, which is defined as the first 28 days after birth, is known to be a crucial stage in the development of the human brain. During this stage, the brain is known to grow ...
