Models of how the brain changes over time could help researchers to understand how diseases affect the organ later in life.

A scientific team has shown that, under the right circumstances, 3D cell culture models of human brain tissue, known as ...

The human brain is often described as one of the most complex structures in biology, and much of its power comes from how ...

Scientists’ ability to recapitulate the human brain in a dish has always been hindered by the inability to model the full ...

The human brain undergoes significant development during the final prenatal months and through the first year of life. And while scientists have begun to map the developmental trajectories of this ...

Study reveals how proteins direct nerve cell precursors to turn into specialized neurons. Brain development is a highly orchestrated process involving numerous parallel and sequential steps. Many of ...

Researchers have investigated brain development to understand how different areas of the brain become specialized in handling information such as vision, sound, touch and planning. In a new study ...

When a baby enters the world, their brain contains billions of neurons awaiting connection. The first 1,000 days of life, from conception to age two, represent a critical period where over 85% of ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects every individual differently. Scientists have identified more than a thousand genes associated with ASD, yet no single gene accounts for most cases. This has ...
