A newly identified enzyme appears to control tau production, brain inflammation, and aging. Researchers at the University of ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

There’s a lot to love about brains. They are arguably the most complex organ in the entire human body. 86 billion neurons send electrical and chemical signals back and forth within your brain to ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

Across a typical lifetime, the human brain does not simply grow, peak, and decline. It passes through five sweeping ...

Johns Hopkins University researchers have grown a novel whole-brain organoid, complete with neural tissues and rudimentary blood vessels—an advance that could usher in a new era of research into ...

The human brain continues to surprise scientists. From how it learns to the fact that our brains glow, there's a lot we have yet to learn about the inner workings of the human brain. One especially ...

Recent studies integrating multi-omics data with cell atlases across development for brains of humans and model organisms are revealing conserved and divergent patterns of brain development at the ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...
