Scientists in Turkey discovered a Bronze Age human brain that has been preserved for 4,000 years. The brain was discovered in ...

In a breakthrough research experiment, scientists have managed to thaw frozen human brain tissue without damaging it.

A new study reveals that neurons in the brain’s memory center, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. A ...

Scientists have 3D bioprinted functioning human brain tissue A new method for assembling neuron cultures horizontally instead of vertically helps solve for a longstanding issue. By Andrew Paul ...

A new study identified the tiny pollutants in the olfactory bulbs of eight cadavers, suggesting microplastics can travel through the nose to the brain ...

A new study found that the brain may contain higher levels of microplastics, equivalent to the amount found in a standard plastic spoon, than other organs in the body ...

While human livers and kidneys also showed increases, the concentrations in brains were seven to 30 times greater, the study found. There was also a higher concentration of micro- and nanoplastic ...

The human brain may contain up to a spoon’s worth of tiny plastic shards—not a spoonful, but the same weight (about seven grams) as a plastic spoon, according to new findings published Monday ...

Claire Durrant, University of Edinburgh, is modeling tauopathies straight from the source. She creates cultures from slices of human brain biopsies to study how tau and Aβ affect synapses. The tissue ...

Biomedical legal expert Hank Greely highlights the complex challenges that would arise if human brain tissue showed signs of approaching consciousness during such experiments.

For the first time ever, a group of scientists created 3D-printed brain tissue that is completely functional.

Human brains today contain 50% more plastic than in 2016, a new study found. Brain of people diagnosed with dementia had the most.
