The Qiang Laboratory concentrates on using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) based technologies to establish in vitro (distinct phenotypical CNS neuronal cultures) and ex vivo (3d forebrain ...

A brain circuit in the mouse basal forebrain that is involved in perceiving the outside world, connects with and overrides feeding behaviors regulated by the hypothalamus. After fasting for 24 hours ...

Peering into laboratory glassware, researchers have watched stem-cell-derived nerve cells arising in a specific region of the human brain migrate into another brain region. This process recapitulates ...

Some say that out of all the objects in the universe, the human brain is the most complex. Much of what makes us uniquely human — our emotions, memories, consciousness — stems from this 3-pound organ, ...

Scientists develop new way to control the genotype of a mouse brain. Creating an accurate model for the genetics of brain disorders has been a struggle for scientists. Whilst cell cultures can reveal ...
