Models of how the brain changes over time could help researchers to understand how diseases affect the organ later in life.

The human brain is often described as one of the most complex structures in biology, and much of its power comes from how ...

A scientific team has shown that, under the right circumstances, 3D cell culture models of human brain tissue, known as ...

Researchers kept human brain organoids developing for over five years, revealing prolonged maturation that mirrors human ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects every individual differently. Scientists have identified more than a thousand genes associated with ASD, yet no single gene accounts for most cases. This has ...

Researchers theorize that further investigation into the stem cell niche—the microenvironment containing nearby cells, blood vessels, signaling molecules, and other structures—could create more robust ...

An international team of researchers has maintained brain organoids, three-dimensional models of human brain tissue, for longer than ever before.

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 ...

When a baby enters the world, their brain contains billions of neurons awaiting connection. The first 1,000 days of life, from conception to age two, represent a critical period where over 85% of ...

A surprising stress-related signal may help the brain repair itself after injury. Researchers found that myelin-producing precursor cells rapidly release the stress hormone CRH near damaged brain ...
