Two separate types of progenitor cells give rise to the front and back of the organ, according to a new study. The findings can help researchers study human diseases that affect the hindbrain, since i ...

Researchers have developed a new method to study the developing human brain by growing human brain tissue inside the skulls of genetically modified mice. The study, published in Nature, indicates that ...

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

A recent study suggests that the human brain emerges from two separate organs, a discovery that may impact future treatments ...

For centuries, scientists have thought of the brain as a single, unified organ. But new research led by Stanford Medicine reveals that what we call the brain is two distinct organs that evolved ...

Individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and those with autism spectrum disorder both experience atypical ...

A new way of mapping activity and connections between different regions of the brain has revealed fresh insights into how higher order functions like language, thought and attention, are organized.

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

Lab-grown organoids wire into mice missing a key part of their brain, offering a new way to test drugs for developmental conditions. Human brain tissue transplanted into mice that lack a key part of ...
