The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

Macaques are often studied because their brains share many similarities with human brains. However, this study revealed an ...

Perhaps our most defining characteristic as a species, the six-layered human cortex, hosts billions of neural connections that bestow Homo sapiens with higher-order thinking. But how does this ...

A new model for cortex development Using patterned cerebral organoids, the scientists also gained insights into human development. During human brain development, multiple morphogens and signaling ...

The morphogenesis of brain folding patterns across species is studied by physical gel models, simulations, and a quantitative morphometric analysis.

The human brain's remarkably prolonged development is unique among mammals and is thought to contribute to our advanced learning abilities. Disruptions in this process may explain certain ...

Physical gel models and numerical simulations have been created to study ferret brain gyrification and cortical malformations, while comparisons with human phenotypes aim to link genetics and brain ...

The claim that the brain, and particularly the frontal lobe, finishes developing at 25 is far less solid than social media ...

Miniature models of the brain have revealed a "previously unappreciated" role of microglia, a type of cell found within the organ. The finding could help unpack how disorders such as autism arise.

When we watch someone move, get injured, or express emotion, our brain doesn’t just see it—it partially feels it. Researchers ...
