A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) ...

Researchers launch Neuropixels Opto, integrating electrophysiology and optogenetics on a single hair-thin probe.

Determining the genetic and epigenetic factors that influence brain folding is the objective of the latest study co-led by the Neurogenesis and Cortical Expansion laboratory, directed by researcher ...

Researchers have discovered a new way that brain plasticity is controlled in early life, offering insight into the ...

SEATTLE, WASH. — November 5, 2025 — A global consortium of scientists has created the first and most detailed “developmental maps” of the mammalian brain (from mouse to human) to date, taking the ...

The outer regions of the brain, the cortex, have specific layers of different cells—neurons—that are similarly ordered among all mammals, from tiny mouse brains to huge elephant brains. However, the ...

Researchers have developed a new approach for describing the shape of the cerebral cortex, and provide evidence that cortices across mammalian species resemble a universal, fractal pattern.

Figuring out the causes of why children develop attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been on scientists' radar for a few decades now. A common notion that has been around for nearly 20 ...
