Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

The study used large-scale CRISPR gene-editing technology to systematically determine which genes are required as embryonic ...

Bioengineering scientists in the US have developed a soft, thin, and stretchable bioelectronic implant, which they integrated into a tadpole embryo’s nervous system to help them track neural activity ...

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

The maternal microbiome and immune system have both independent and synergistic effects on fetal brain health—changes in the ...

One hypothesis for how autism develops is excessive neuron production in the prenatal period, leading to a transient but significant increase in brain size in the first few years of life in about ...
