Medical researchers have discovered how to create more accurate, consistent brain organoids to develop treatments for neurological disorders. By using stem cells to grow miniature brain-like organs in ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

In an unprecedented breakthrough, Stanford researchers have successfully reversed autism symptoms in lab models. This remarkable development paves the way for potentially groundbreaking treatments, ...

Scientists have created a virtual brain network that can predict the behavior of individual neurons in a living brain. The model is based on a fruit fly's visual system, and it offers scientists a way ...

In a groundbreaking scientific achievement, researchers have successfully grown living brain tissue in a laboratory setting. This advancement not only opens new doors for neuroscience but also raises ...

Epilepsy affects an estimated 1.2 million adults in the U.S. alone, an upwards of three and a half million globally. In many cases, treatment for epileptic seizures includes medications to help reduce ...

Scientists have developed the largest and most detailed computational models of rat hippocampal and somatosensory cortex regions to date. They have released these models and the tools for their use to ...

Transplanted human cells integrate into rat brains, and an exoskeleton boot that adapts as people walk. Brain organoids — lab-grown, self-organizing structures made of stem cells — are used in ...
