The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains ...

Scientists are building experimental computers from living human brain cells and testing how they learn and adapt.

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

A group of Chinese researchers has created a robot with a brain made of human stem cells. The technology is technically a "brain-on-a-chip," and the researchers have been working to train the robot to ...

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) today announced the 10 most downloaded papers of 2025 from Stem Cell ...

Stem cells in the brain, called neural stem cells (NSCs), have the ability to proliferate, differentiate, and undergo a process of cell death. Most of the NSCs in our brains exist in a dormant state, ...

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from trauma, stroke, or disease—they rarely grow back. Scientists have been ...

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...
