Brain microphysiological systems are reshaping in vitro neurotoxicity testing through functional validation and advanced ...

Scientists at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, (NUS Medicine), have identified a molecular switch that helps aging brains ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Scientists at Keck Medicine of USC are testing an experimental stem cell therapy that aims to restore the brain’s ability to ...

Brain damage caused by blocked blood vessels may be treatable using injections of stem cells, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Zurich and the University of Southern ...

Recent technological advances are allowing neuroscientists to map the human brain with increasing precision, highlighting connections between different regions and their function in greater depth.

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from trauma, stroke, or disease—they rarely grow back. Scientists have been ...

When someone has a stroke—a leading worldwide cause of death and disability—time is of the essence. Almost nine out of 10 cases are ischemic strokes, caused by restricted blood flow in the brain, and ...

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