A new study reveals how young synapses gradually mature to send chemical signals correctly — a process that can take days and depends on neural activity.

Open source language models are crucial to AI innovation. Can open robotics models do the same for physical machines?

MIT scientists have developed a new 3D human brain tissue model that could change how researchers study neurological diseases ...

Wiring up the brain's trillions of circuit connections is an enormous job performed by a huge crew of molecules. Among the less understood members are circular RNAs, transcripts from DNA that assume a ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture.

Every day, your brain makes thousands of decisions under uncertainty. Most of the time, you guess right. When you don't, you learn. But when the brain's ability to judge context or assign meaning ...

A team of scientists at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) has published new evidence suggesting that the brain's protective shield—known as the blood-brain barrier (BBB)—remains ...

Since Madeline Lancaster first created brain organoids back in 2013, they have become widely used for brain research around the world. But what exactly are they? Are they effectively miniature brains ...
