According to the study, our ancestors split from a group 1.5 million years ago and rejoined them 300,000 years ago.

Scientists have discovered a new protein pathway involved in neurodegeneration by studying “mini-brain” organoids made from patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD).

Researchers have discovered a new way that neurons act in neurodegeneration by using human neural organoids -- also known as 'mini-brain' models -- from patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration ...

Organoids have revolutionized science and medicine, providing platforms for disease modeling, drug testing, and understanding developmental processes. While not exact replicas of human organs, they ...

Humanity has been hunting for sex-based differences in the brain since at least the time of the ancient Greeks, and it has largely been an exercise in futility. That's partly because human brains do ...

Colored green above, a songbird's cortex, which dominates the bird brain anatomy, functions similarly to a human cortex ... light blue regions seen on the model constitute the brainstem, which ...

“Since the marmoset brain has quite similar structures to the human brain, we used this animal model to understand human disease,” explains Okabe. “That’s why the project has an emphasis ...

Columbia scientists mapped brain mitochondria for the first time, revealing how energy shapes memory, mood, and mental health ...

In Huth’s study, he used a large language model called GPT1, an early version of the engine that runs ChatGPT, to decode brain activity. “For the first time in history, there is a system other than ...

This model could influence pharmaceutical testing, particularly benefiting drug safety for pregnant women. Microglia are special cells in the human brain. Like a diligent ... accompany them often ...
