A Stanford Medicine-led study has challenged the idea that the human brain developed as one organ. Researchers found that its front and back sections come from two separate early cell groups, a ...

Imagine what brain surgeons could do with a three-dimensional (3D)-printed model of the brain. Not a structural model printed in plastic and uniform throughout, but one that mirrors the heterogeneity ...

Scientists are always thinking up crazy experiments to push our knowledge forward, and injecting human brain cells into mice ...

Lab-grown organoids wire into mice missing a key part of their brain, offering a new way to test drugs for developmental conditions. Human brain tissue transplanted into mice that lack a key part of ...

A landmark experiment led by Stanford University researchers expands the scope of what we can learn from lab-grown neural models, dramatically improving the integration of a human cortical organoid ...

Neurons that once encoded a person's memories are now helping researchers identify genetic targets that may one day help preserve memory and slow cognitive decline in others. In a study published in ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the big picture of artificial intelligence. The brain is unimaginably complex. Google and Harvard recently announced ...

A cluster of lab-grown human brain cells has apparently made the leap to successfully playing a very rudimentary video game without the benefit of eyes, ears, or any kind of sensory input. It's a far ...
