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

In an exciting scientific breakthrough, researchers at Johns Hopkins University have grown a miniature human brain in the lab. This tiny brain is called a multi-region brain organoid (MRBO). It mimics ...

The human eye does not actually see purple, as purple is not a color on the visual spectrum. Purple is a combination of wavelengths from opposite extremes of the spectrum, which technically deosn’t ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins have grown a first-of-its-kind organoid mimicking an entire human brain, complete with rudimentary blood vessels and neural activity. This new "multi-region brain organoid" ...

A multidisciplinary team led by Professor Li Yulong from the School of Life Sciences at Peking University has developed a far-red fluorescent dopamine (DA) probe that enables real-time, multiplex ...

Do colors trigger unique brain responses? And do different people have the same brain responses to colors? In a new JNeurosci paper, Michael Bannert and Andreas Bartels, from the University of ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...
