Brain region-specific organoids have allowed researchers to peer inside the complex programming of human forebrain development, a process once inaccessible to molecular study. The results bring new ...

Glucocorticoids are the consensus treatment for the prevention of respiratory distress in preterm infants, but there is evidence for increased incidence of neurodevelopmental disorders as a result of ...

A group of researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine led an investigation that offers new insight into the development of the human forebrain. The study, led by Changuk ...

Researchers of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch have now identified and described a molecular mechanism underlying the most common malformation of the brain in humans.

Some say that out of all the objects in the universe, the human brain is the most complex. Much of what makes us uniquely human — our emotions, memories, consciousness — stems from this 3-pound organ, ...

Since humans diverged from a common ancestor shared with chimpanzees and the other great apes, the human brain has changed dramatically. However, the genetic and developmental processes responsible ...

Two independent research teams have successfully regenerated mouse brain circuits in mice using neurons grown from rat stem cells. Both studies, using interspecies blastocyst complementation to study ...

During the development of vertebrate forebrain the formation of anterior neural structures requires suppression of Wnt signals originating from the paraxial mesoderm and midbrain territory. However, ...
