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

Researchers have developed a new method to study the developing human brain by growing human brain tissue inside the skulls ...

The human brain begins developing along two distinct paths, a discovery that could help scientists grow hard-to-make neurons in the lab.

For centuries, scientists have thought of the brain as a single, unified organ. But new research led by Stanford Medicine ...

Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) variability reflects meaningful brain activity, yet its structural and biological correlates during early development remain unknown. Using longitudinal ...

Researchers at Stanford University genetically altered mice to be able to receive and function with human brain cells.

Scientists have grown human brain tissue to fill most of a mouse’s cortex, creating a new model for studying brain disease and neural circuits.

Scientists have found that the human brain develops from two distinct cellular systems, suggesting that evolution fused together two ancient nervous systems with very different jobs. The discovery ...

Why do human brains vary in size and shape, and how did our brains expand over evolutionary time to give us our enhanced ...

The human brain continues to develop for two decades. To study this prolonged process, researchers have traditionally relied on donated human brain tissue and animal models, both of which have ...
