Our brains and their associated diseases are notoriously hard to study. So, researchers developed an animal model with a ...

Stanford scientists have created a new model for studying human brain development by transplanting lab-grown human brain ...

A landmark experiment led by Stanford University researchers expands the scope of what we can learn from lab-grown neural ...

Researchers at Stanford University genetically altered mice to be able to receive and function with human brain cells.

A mouse brain is not much larger than a thumbnail. In a new experiment, scientists genetically prevented much of its cerebral ...

Now, neuroscientists at Stanford University have taken a huge step towards solving that problem. They grew human cortical ...

Scientists have found that the human brain develops from two distinct cellular systems, suggesting that evolution fused together two ancient nervous systems with very different jobs. The discovery ...

Stanford Medicine scientists have chalked up a major advance in growing human brain cells outside the human brain—and outside ...

Researchers transplant human brain organoids into cortex-depleted mice, forming functional circuits that guide motor behavior.

Scientists are continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible in neuroscience. A study out today illustrates that it’s ...

Scientists have devised a new way to incorporate human brain tissue into living mice, opening the door to new research.

Neuroscientists have made a major advance in modeling the human brain in mice, offering a new way to study conditions like ...
