Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell ...

UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

"It's been hard for the neuroscience community to take a step back from this old school interpretation that the brain is this ...

During the early thirties, the brain’s wiring pattern moves into what the researchers describe as the adult mode. This adult ...

The structure of the human brain is undergoing four key stages of restructuring — at the age of 9, 32, 66, and 83. Neuroscientists from the University of Cambridge came to this conclusion after ...

Researchers have created functional brain-like tissue without relying on any animal-derived materials, marking a major step toward more ethical and reproducible neurological research.

The long-held belief that brain structure is fixed early in life has largely given way to the well-established concept of ...

Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the ...

The connection between physical movement and brain function has emerged as one of neuroscience’s most significant discoveries. The human brain, despite representing only 2% of body weight, consumes ...

A new study finds that brain changes are not a steady progression; instead, distinct neural rewiring occurs around ages 9, 32 ...
