Scientists have uncovered a surprising principle behind the brain's intricate development from a single cell. Researchers ...

How does a single cell build a brain with billions of precisely organized neurons? Researchers suggest that brain cells use ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Houston Methodist neuroscientists have developed a first-of-its-kind method to rapidly produce synchronized, human brain wave-like activity in lab-grown neural networks that can communicate over long ...

Mathematicians are investigating how the intricate folds in the human brain – which have increased as our species has evolved – help to improve our brainpower. The team at Nottingham Trent University ...

A team of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Texas Children's Hospital, and collaborating institutions reveals in the journal Nature a novel mechanism ...

Among the body's most crucial protective features are the brain barrier systems, including the blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barriers. These barriers are made of highly specialized ...

Since their beginnings, psychiatry, clinical psychology, and psychotherapy have all assumed that psychological and emotional distress has its origins inside isolated individuals: dysfunctional ...
