Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor proliferation and cortical size. Small genetic changes in HARE5 amplify a key ...

An influential hypothesis in neuroscience is that the brain may operate near criticality, a transition zone between ...

New neuroscience research identifies Glutamine Synthetase as the key enzyme driving postnatal brain maturation and neuronal ...

A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) ...

The human brain develops through an intricate balance of cellular growth, connectivity, and metabolism. A new study reveals ...

A new study from Oregon Health & Science University found that air pollution can impact adolescent brain development. The analysis indicated that exposure to common air pollutants is associated with ...

The cerebral cortex, the outermost layer of the brain, is the central driver of various human capabilities, including decision-making, perception, language and memory. Understanding how the morphology ...

What causes gray matter loss in Multiple Sclerosis? New research identifies DNA damage in CUX2 neurons as a primary driver of MS progression.

The systems use around 200,000 neurons grown from human stem cells, mounted on arrays of thousands of electrodes ...
