Understanding how a healthy brain works can provide insight into how it fails, too. Scientists hope that studying organoids derived from humans with neurodevelopmental disorders — particularly ...

Scientists have created a groundbreaking tool that can listen to the electrical signals inside tiny lab-grown human brain models, often called “mini brains.” These structures, known as neural ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

A study published in Molecular Psychiatry reveals a path of cause-effect molecular events that can lead to Alzheimer’s ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...

Scientists have advanced human-animal chimera research by successfully growing human cells within the organs of mice. This development could bring experts closer to the goal of custom-growing human ...

HALFMOON, N.Y. — A physician who allegedly conducted human brain-activity experiments on people associated with the NXIVM corporation has apparently not published a scientific study in years and there ...

Earlier this year, John Hopkins University scientists revealed that they had created something astonishing: a miniature whole human brain. Specifically, it was a type of organoid, a small mass of ...
