Before that, embryonic stem cells had been transformed into single-layered brain cells inside a petri dish, but this had the obvious limitation of being 2-D instead of the 3-D real brain.

Thirty years ago, George Paxinos noticed an unusual assortment of cells lurking near the brain stem -- but he didn't think much of it. Going over the region in 2018, he was once again struck by it.

In this case, the organoid is made up of stem cells, effectively making it a stem cell brain. This kind of technology is part of an emerging trend that scientists are calling brain-computer interface.

Our remarkable brain has evolved from very primitive parts. From one perspective, it's a masterpiece. From another, it's just 3 pounds of inefficient jelly. But out of all that jelly, human traits ...

N-cadherin triggers neural stem cell differentiation: ... The subgranular zone is a small area within the hippocampus, a part of the brain essential for learning and memory.

The brain is made up of three main parts, which are the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem. Each of these has a unique function and is made up of several parts as well.

Stem cells from the brain do not provoke an immune response when transplanted to different parts of another individual’s body, suggests a study in mice. The finding could help overcome immune ...

The brain stem connects to your spinal cord and sits just underneath the cerebrum. The largest part of the brain is the cerebrum, which consists of four lobes, each with a distinct function.

A biologist with the US government's research and development arm is working on a radical new approach to anti-aging treatments: replacing parts of the human brain with cloned tissues. As the MIT ...

Mapping the brain stem's control of eating could lead to better treatments for obesity ... that the signals are coordinated within the most primitive parts of our brains, the brain stem or hindbrain.
