Miniature, lab-grown models of the human brain's wrinkled surface can be used to patch injuries in the brains of living rats and thus repair broken connections in the rodents' sensory processing ...

As a researcher, I still remember the discomfort I felt every time I had to sacrifice laboratory animals for an experiment. For decades, animals like mice, rats and pigs have been essential tools in ...

Researchers have developed a technique to connect lab-grown neural 'organoids' (three-dimensional developmental brain-like structures grown from human stem cells) using axonal bundles, similar to the ...

Scientists at the Salk Institute have created a better brain. It’s a human brain, but it’s very small and it’s used for research. KPBS Sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge tells us about organoids, and how ...

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 ...

In a story ripped from the opening scenes of a sci-fi horror movie, scientists have bridged a critical gap between the biological and electronic. The study, published in Nature Electronics (summarized ...

Neuroscientists from 22 labs joined forces in an unprecedented international partnership to produce a landmark achievement: a neural map that shows activity across the entire brain during ...
