What makes us who we are and distinctive from other species? The cerebral cortex in our brains is one of the things that makes us human. It controls our highest cognitive functions, learning abilities ...

The cerebrum is the top part of the brain. It receives and gives meaning to information from the sense organs and controls the body. The cerebrum is also involved in functions like memory, reasoning, ...

Researchers have unveiled a first-of-its-kind atlas of gene-enhancers in the brain that should greatly benefit future research into the underlying causes of neurological disorders such as autism, ...

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

Our brain comprises 85 billion nerve cells and just as many so-called glial cells. But what decides when and how many of them become neurons or glial cells? A new study has shown how the Foxg1 gene ...

Cerebral organoids are artificially grown, 3D tissue cultures that resemble the human brain. Now, researchers from Japan report functional neural networks derived from these organoids in a study ...

In the latest development for the rapidly evolving field of cerebral organoids, a team of researchers has created a fully functional neural network, derived from 3D cell cultures. Whether you call ...

High-density microelectrode arrays (HD-MEAs) play a crucial role in assessing the functional characteristics of cerebral organoids. As a pioneer in this area, 3Brain specializes in developing top-tier ...
