Understanding how human neurons cope with the energy demands of a large, active brain could open up new avenues for treating ...

Scientists have created brain ‘organoids’ that may be showing early signs of sentience. Should that give researchers pause?

In healthy human brains and brain organoids, neural stem cells develop into nerve cells (or neurons), which send and receive messages throughout the brain, as well as into various types of glial ...

The lab-grown organoids allowed the team to gain a new understanding of how one genetic mutation leads to autism spectrum disorder. It also showed that an experimental drug, called NitroSynapsin, ...

Such brain “organoids,” as they’re called, have always raised ethical questions. But when I learned that some of them had spontaneously developed optic vesicles—that is, precursors to eyes—I realized ...

TIANJIN, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- Repairing the human brain continues to be an immensely challenging endeavor. One approach involves connecting the brain to a machine, while other scientists are pioneering ...

Brain organoids have become instrumental in studying neurodevelopment and recapitulating human diseases, such as PD. hMLOs represent a significant advancement in disease modeling, especially for PD.

In healthy human brains and brain organoids, neural stem cells develop into nerve cells (or neurons), which send and receive messages throughout the brain, as well as into various types of glial ...
