An international research team has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin—DNA and proteins—plays a ...

A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...

In a new study, researchers discovered that the human brain has four pivotal periods when it goes through marked changes, sparking five "epochs" that last for years. The adolescent phase, for example, ...

A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a new study from Case Western ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

We have long believed that brain growth stops and aging begins once we pass the age of 20. However, a study by British ...

According to a new study published by researchers at Yale and the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, some of the same molecular changes that occur in brain inflammation also happen during normal ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...
