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.

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

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and ...

The human brain undergoes significant development during the final prenatal months and through the first year of life. And while scientists have begun to map the developmental trajectories of this ...

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

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

We have long believed that brain growth stops and aging begins once we pass the age of 20. However, a study by British ...

The brain has five major structural phases during the human lifespan and doesn't reach adulthood until age 32, a new study suggests. Scientists determined that brain development is defined by four ...

The brain implant is an ultra-thin chip designed to create a fast, wireless link between the human brain and artificial ...
