A groundbreaking brain atlas maps nearly 680,000 cells to reveal how the human brain develops at the single-cell level. The discovery could transform Parkinson’s research by setting new standards for ...

Whether or not we grow new brain cells as adults has been the subject of an ongoing and often contentious debate. Now, evidence suggests that we can. This could help answer one of neuroscience’s most ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...

Pioneering work turns stem cells into brain cells in cultures to potentially treat disorders. Research pioneers turn skin cells from patients with psychiatric conditions into stem cells and then brain ...

UCLA scientists have developed advanced miniature 3D tumor organoid models that make it possible to study glioblastoma tumors in a setting that closely mirrors the human brain, shedding light on how ...
