Past studies suggest that a mother-to-be's heightened immune responses during pregnancy are linked to a higher risk of ...

A team of researchers has created the first 'multiome' atlas of brain cell development in the human cerebral cortex across six broad developmental time points from fetal development into adulthood, ...

UCLA researchers have discovered two powerful influences that help guide how the human brain forms before birth. Radial glia, ...

As the human brain takes shape before birth, a remarkable type of stem cell helps give it many of the features that make it ...

The human brain is known to contain a wide range of cell types, which have different roles and functions. The processes via which cells in the brain, particularly its outermost layer (i.e., the ...

Two recent studies have advanced brain organoid research. One found that organoids can record the passage of time, while the ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...

The human brain is often described as one of the most complex structures in biology, and much of its power comes from how it's organized.

Brain organoids have been grown and studied for five years, the longest time to date, and their activity suggests they had a ...

A team of researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Yale University School of Medicine has created the first "multiome" atlas of brain cell development in the human cerebral ...
