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 ...

Cambridge researchers created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab that can send signals and even trigger tiny ...

In an interview published in Brain Medicine, Dr. Alysson Muotri—Professor in the Department of Pediatrics and Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and director of the ...

Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect, which ...

A team of scientists—including Agnieszka Ciesielska (left), Barbara Klein (center), and Jeanne Paz (right)—showed that modified stem cells can improve brain activity, even when administered more than ...

Australian researchers have trained lab-grown brain cells on a silicon computer chip to play the nineties shooter game "Doom" and say they are just scratching the surface of what the neurons could be ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

A pioneering UK clinical trial injects stem cells during surgery to regrow auditory nerves, offering a biological cure for ...

Each so-called 'biological computer' contains around 200,000 living human brain cells, grown from stem cells that were ...
