In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly.

When babies are born, their brains contain billions of neurons. But how those neurons interact — and what they can do as ...

The next surprise was that human organoids just kept growing. Mouse organoids were done with making neurons within nine days. Human organoids continued for 200 days, growing into 4-millimetre spheres ...

Scientists have made a major advance in developmental neuroscience, creating the very first detailed atlas of how the vascular network of a mouse's brain grows after birth. Their study is published in ...

A signaling pathway best known for shaping the brain before birth also helps govern how adults learn, adapt, and persist in ...

Both models feature animals genetically predisposed to absence seizures that consistently and reliably develop absence epilepsy across their lifespan. In both models, the researchers focused their ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Houston Methodist neuroscientists have developed a first-of-its-kind method to rapidly produce synchronized, human brain wave-like activity in lab-grown neural networks that can communicate over long ...

“Do you know why you shouldn’t talk to strangers?” asks a police officer standing at the front of a classroom to a room full of students. Emily’s hand shoots up and the teacher encourages her to ...
