As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...

Aging is inevitable, but losing brain power doesn’t have to be. Science now shows that neurogenesis—the process of growing new brain cells—continues well into adulthood, especially if we fuel our ...

Pioneering work turns stem cells into brain cells in cultures to potentially treat disorders. Research pioneers turn skin cells from patients with psychiatric conditions into stem cells and then brain ...

Whether or not we grow new brain cells as adults has been the subject of an ongoing and often contentious debate. Now, evidence suggests that we can. This could help answer one of neuroscience’s most ...

The human brain is much more flexible than we ever thought. New studies have begun to suggest that, even in adulthood, the ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a new study from Case Western ...
