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 ...

The human brain begins developing along two distinct paths, a discovery that could help scientists grow hard-to-make neurons in the lab.

For decades, the prevailing model held that a single kind of progenitor, or precursor, cell gave rise to the entire brain.

Scientists have grown human brain tissue to fill most of a mouse’s cortex, creating a new model for studying brain disease and neural circuits.

Scientists have successfully replaced the cortex of genetically modified mice with lab-grown human brain tissue. The ...

Why do human brains vary in size and shape, and how did our brains expand over evolutionary time to give us our enhanced ...

Scientists are always thinking up crazy experiments to push our knowledge forward, and injecting human brain cells into mice ...

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 comprehensive analysis of nearly 1,000 individuals reveals that while brain structure, function, and behavior can all predict a person's biological sex, an individual's degree of sex typicality in ...
