A new study on embryonic development reveals that the brain does not arise from a single pool of cells, as previously thought ...

The brain is often viewed as developing from a single starting pool of cells, but recent research suggests a different story.

While one part of your brain processes these words, another part is keeping you alive, regulating your heartbeat, maintaining ...

Hindbrain neurons control breathing and swallowing, and a Stanford lab grew them after finding a second starter cell in the ...

Deep inside the developing mammalian cortex, a thin band of early-born neurons called the subplate has long puzzled ...

For decades, the prevailing model held that a single kind of progenitor, or precursor, cell gave rise to the entire brain.

New research suggests that the human brain starts as two separate developmental systems. These findings reframe long-held ...

Stanford study finds the brain develops from two separate embryonic cell lineages, a discovery that could improve lab models of ALS and related diseases.

(Alfred Pasieka/Science Photo Library/Getty Images) The brain is an immeasurably complex organ, and we're only just ...

The research shows that the human brain is in fact two old nervous systems combined together: one primitive section which ...
