A recent study published in Nature Communications demonstrated how droplet-based three-dimensional (3D) printing could help fabricate cerebral cortex tissues comprising layer-specific neurons ...

Wu Ma, Ph.D., at the ATCC and his colleagues at the NIH and the Naval Research Laboratory recently succeeded in creating a 3-D, functioning cerebral cortex model from rat embryonic neural ...

Droplets containing human iPSC-derived neural progenitors were 3D-printed to form 2-layer cerebral cortical tissue, which was cultured before implantation into a mouse brain slice. DNPs: deep-layer ...

Tiny cerebellar organoids in a culture flask. Credit: Sergio Bianco Brain organoids are grown in a lab using stem cells, and can mimic the functions of different regions of the brain like the cortex, ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford have unveiled a pioneering method that has the potential to offer customized solutions for individuals affected by brain injuries. A picture of a human brain ...

This brain map illustrates the earliest incarnations of the "Bergland Split-Brain Model" and describes various hypothetical roles each brain region might play within an interconnected ...

A 3D model accurately mimicking the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) in a laboratory environment has been successfully developed by research teams led by Professor Jinah Jang from the Departments of ...

Whatever you do, don’t call them "mini-brains," say University of Utah Health scientists. Name aside, the seed-sized organoids—which are grown in the lab from human cells—provide insights into the ...

A ground-breaking study shows the most detailed map of a mammal's brain to date. The 3D blueprints display more than two miles of neural wiring, close to 100,000 nerve cells, and about 500 million ...
