Scientists have long tried to understand the human brain by comparing it to other primates. Researchers are still trying to ...

Leibniz Institute for Primate Research and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics have discovered ...

As a platform demonstration, Burger and colleagues created a virtual world with a butterfly model. The brain organoids watch for human input signals, which in this case take the form of clicks on ...

A novel PET imaging approach can effectively quantify a key enzyme associated with brain inflammation, according to research ...

Scientists have grown tiny human brains in space to research new treatments for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and spinal injuries. The low gravity environment on the International Space Station (ISS ...

The presence of the central DNA flap in HIV vectors enhances gene transduction in primary neural cells. To determine whether TRIP vectors, which include the central DNA flap, allow improved ...

The images above depict artificially-derived neurons grown in petri dishes, with a human neuron shown on the left. Artificially-derived chimpanzee neurons grow only one or two neurites (connecting ...
