A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

"Super-agers" seem to produce more new nerve cells in a brain region important for memory than other people their age ...

Whether or not we grow new brain cells as adults has been the subject of an ongoing and often contentious debate. Now, evidence suggests that we can. This could help answer one of neuroscience’s most ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature from the earliest embryonic and fetal stages ...

Scientists have created the most detailed maps yet of how our brains differentiate from stem cells during embryonic development and early life. In a Nature collection including five papers published ...
