The medical consequences of traumatic brain injuries are well-studied and affect millions of Americans every year. But one of the brain's complexities is less explored: how much force from a car crash ...

Brain organoid biocomputers are now commercially available. Here's how living human neurons are being wired to silicon chips ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

The idea of growing functioning human brain-like tissues in a dish has always sounded far-fetched, even to researchers in the field. Towards the future goal, a Japanese and French research team has ...

The Relationships and Brain Sciences Research Laboratory (RABS lab) is focused on identifying biomarkers and psychosocial vulnerabilities in the role of health. Using a stress model, we seek to ...

Editor’s Note: This is part of a series called Inside the Lab, which gives audiences a first-hand look at the research laboratories at the University of Chicago and the scholars who are tackling some ...

Researchers offer insights into the ethical dilemmas and legal complexities surrounding brain organoids, especially those derived from human fetal tissue. Their findings advocate for thorough ...

Researchers have developed a technique to connect lab-grown neural 'organoids' (three-dimensional developmental brain-like structures grown from human stem cells) using axonal bundles, similar to the ...
