Scientists have created an unusual experimental model in which lab-grown human brain tissue has been integrated into the ...

Two separate types of progenitor cells give rise to the front and back of the organ, according to a new study. The findings can help researchers study human diseases that affect the hindbrain, since i ...

A landmark experiment led by Stanford University researchers expands the scope of what we can learn from lab-grown neural models, dramatically improving the integration of a human cortical organoid ...

A Stanford Medicine-led study has challenged the idea that the human brain developed as one organ. Researchers found that its front and back sections come from two separate early cell groups, a ...

A Stanford study suggests the human brain developed from two ancient nervous systems, offering new insights into evolution and potential research on ALS and SMA.

Lab-grown organoids wire into mice missing a key part of their brain, offering a new way to test drugs for developmental conditions. Human brain tissue transplanted into mice that lack a key part of ...

A recent study suggests that the human brain emerges from two separate organs, a discovery that may impact future treatments ...

Neuroscientists have made a major advance in modeling the human brain in mice, offering a new way to study conditions like cerebral palsy. Ethicists ask if it changes how these mice should be treated.

Research teams have created a versatile set of gene delivery systems that can reach different neural cell types in the human brain and spinal cord with exceptional accuracy. These delivery systems are ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the big picture of artificial intelligence. The brain is unimaginably complex. Google and Harvard recently announced ...
