USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can ...

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from trauma, stroke, or disease—they rarely grow back.

Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and their collaborators have created one of the most comprehensive single cell maps ...

Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

Researchers from Sweden have discovered that the human brain continues to grow new cells in the memory region—called the hippocampus—even into old age. Using advanced tools to examine brain samples ...

Learning to code doesn’t require new brain systems—it builds on the ones we already use for logic and reasoning.

The question of whether adult brains grow new brain cells has been debated for more than 60 years. Known as "neurogenesis", this process has been observed in the brain of other adult animals, yet its ...

After years of debate, scientists provided new evidence for the lifelong birth of human brain cells, which may inform future therapies for neurological diseases. “This gives us an important piece of ...

Parkinson’s disease steals ease and movement by striking a narrow band of midbrain neurons. If you study or cover neuroscience, you have seen the promise and frustration in efforts to grow these ...
