Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

UCLA scientists have developed advanced miniature 3D tumor organoid models that make it possible to study glioblastoma tumors in a setting that closely mirrors the human brain, shedding light on how ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

A hidden communication network between brain cells and glioblastoma tumors may be key to slowing this aggressive cancer.

Researchers have come up with a clever new way of freezing brain cells just as they fire out a signal, meaning processes that normally happen too quickly to observe can be studied in detail – and ...

We are conducting a research study using MRI to understand how the brain regulates blood flow and physiology, with the goal of developing better tools for early detection of vascular dementia.

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...
