A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.

Using microfluidic devices mimicking the crowded spaces in the developing brain, researchers gained novel insights into distinct modes of locomotion found in neurons. In the developing brain, neurons ...

Researchers identified three distinct brain “biotypes” of ADHD, each with its own chemical signature—offering new clues about why treatment can feel like trial and error.

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

In a major scientific breakthrough, scientists have identified two specific types of brain cells linked to depression for the first time, offering a clearer biological understanding of the disorder.
