In a remarkable leap for neuroscience, lab-grown mini-brains, or brain organoids, have demonstrated the ability to solve math problems. These innovative developments provide new insights into ...

Using an innovative new method, a University of Saskatchewan (USask) researcher is building tiny pseudo-organs from stem cells to help diagnose and treat Alzheimer's. When Dr. Tyler Wenzel (PhD) first ...

Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect, which ...

In an exciting scientific breakthrough, researchers at Johns Hopkins University have grown a miniature human brain in the lab. This tiny brain is called a multi-region brain organoid (MRBO). It mimics ...

What happens in the brain as we age? Might it be at all possible to rejuvenate nerve cells? Seeking answers to these questions, a research group led by Frank Edenhofer in the Department of Molecular ...

Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect up, which underlies our movements. They used this model to show how damage to these ...

Engineers have developed the smallest implantable brain stimulator demonstrated in a human patient that could revolutionize treatment for drug-resistant depression and other psychiatric or ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: “We need to study models with human cells if you want to understand neurodevelopmental disorders or neuropsychiatric disorders, but I can’t ask a ...

Researchers study the function of different types of brain cells after traumatic injury using fluorescent dyes in a novel "mini-brain." A biomedical engineering professor at the University of ...

New research could revolutionize the way Alzheimer's and other brain-related diseases are diagnosed and treated -- by building tiny brains in a petri dish. Using an innovative new method, a University ...
