The next surprise was that human organoids just kept growing. Mouse organoids were done with making neurons within nine days.

Both models feature animals genetically predisposed to absence seizures that consistently and reliably develop absence epilepsy across their lifespan. In both models, the researchers focused their ...

The potential benefits of organoids for fundamental research and medicine are huge. Efforts to establish proper boundaries ...

“Do you know why you shouldn’t talk to strangers?” asks a police officer standing at the front of a classroom to a room full of students. Emily’s hand shoots up and the teacher encourages her to ...

SEATTLE, WASH. — DECEMBER 23, 2025 — Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals). These whisper-quiet ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Researchers at the University of Exeter have created a detailed temporal map of chemical changes to DNA through development and aging of the human brain, offering new insights into how conditions such ...

If you scroll through social media for long enough, you'll almost certainly come across someone saying, “Your brain isn’t fully developed until 25.” This idea is often used to explain poor decisions, ...

The connections a baby's brain forms during the first two years of life, coupled with a baby's genetic makeup, offer a window into their development. Cedars-Sinai pediatric neurologists, developmental ...

A new study of brain activity patterns in people doing a memory task finds that the way we make inferences changes dramatically as we age. Members of Alison Preston’s research group study fMRI brain ...

A human infant is born with roughly twice as many synapses as it will eventually need. Over the first few years of life, the ...
