This Collection calls for manuscripts that map the human brain at the anatomical, circuitry, cellular, and/or functional level. To understand how the brain functions in health and disease, knowledge ...
Research on conditions like autism, schizophrenia and even brain cancer increasingly relies on clusters of human cells called brain organoids. These pea-size bits of neural tissue model aspects of ...
Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while ...
What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...
Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive disorders, including autism. But ethical questions loom. Brain organoids, which ...
WASHINGTON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature from the earliest embryonic and fetal stages ...
The human brain has 86 billion neurons connected by roughly 100 trillion synapses, making it one of the most complex objects in the known universe. Each year neuroscientists make fascinating, ...

There’s a strange fold in your brain that no one else in the animal kingdom has—and it might explain human imagination
Your brain is wrinkled like a walnut, and those wrinkles aren't just for show. Each fold increases the amount of surface area ...
