Using brain organoid models, researchers have identified how the brain grows much larger and has three times as many neurons, as the brains of chimpanzees and gorillas. Read More
Researchers have developed a new device that can record, sense, and manipulate brain organoids. The device will allow researchers to make groundbreaking discoveries about how the brain develops and identify mechanisms of recovery following trauma. Read More
Brain organoids, or mini-brains, created from human stem cells appear to develop in much the same way as a human brain. The organoids follow an internal clock that guides their maturation in sync with the timeline for human brain development. Read More
Study reveals the detailed internal anatomy of mini-brains for the first time. Read More
Machine learning is unable to tell the difference in brain activity between a lab-grown mini-brain and that of a preterm infant who has reached full-term. Read More
Open sharing of scientific data and standard methods will allow researchers to collaborate on projects and accelerate understanding of neurodegenerative diseases. Read More
A cerebral organoid allows researchers to detect dynamic changes in calcium ion activity and visualize comprehensive cell activities. Read More
Brazilian scientists produce brain organoids with primitive eyes using computational fluid dynamics. Read More
With the first head transplant scheduled for 2018, many neuroscientists are skeptical the procedure will be a success. A new article questions if scientists, and the general population, will be ready for the procedure. What does it mean for the future of mankind? Read More
Researchers have developed a new method of reducing the time it takes to grow mini brain models in the lab. This may accelerate research into diseases and injury that affect the nervous system. Read More
Researchers used hPSCs to grow an organoid that produces inhibitory neurons and plays a critical role in the early development of the cortex. Read More
Findings could help with the development of new painkillers to target back pain, arthritis and other pain disorders. Read More
