The development of the human brain, with its extraordinary range of cognitive abilities, is an awe-inspiring feat of evolution. Each of its tens of billions of cells must be born at precisely the ...

Scientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report new evidence that clusters of brain tissue derived from the cells of patients ...

Imagine balancing a ruler vertically in the palm of your hand: you have to constantly pay attention to the angle of the ruler and make many small adjustments to make sure it doesn't fall over. It ...

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. Research on ...

Lab-grown neuron groups can mimic parts of the human brain and help researchers study both the brain’s development and disorders. Now researchers have started linking these “organoids” to proto-spinal ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz have trained lab-grown clusters of mouse brain cells to balance a virtual pole on a moving cart, marking what the team calls the first ...

Research on conditions like autism, schizophrenia and even brain cancer increasingly relies on clusters of human cells called brain organoids. These pea-size bits of neural tissue model aspects of ...
