Scientists develop lab-grown model of the human sensory pathway to investigate how pain signals are transmitted to the brain.

A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section of a mammalian brain. This feat, part of the MICrONS Project, rivals the ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a ...

Join us as we explore the evolution of the human brain, diving into our 'caveman' instincts and the fascinating psychology that links us to our ancient ancestors.

Researchers have recreated the human ascending sensory pathway in a lab dish, using organoids that model the key brain and ...

From a pinprick to a warm breeze, every sensation you perceive begins its journey along this ascending sensory pathway. For the first time, scientists have recreated the entire human nervous system’s ...

Researchers have discovered a way to get anti-inflammatory medicine across the blood-brain barrier, opening the door to potential new therapies for a range of conditions, including Alzheimer's disease ...

I wondered,” she writes in Searches, her new collection of essays on AI technology, “if Sam Altman’s machine could do it for ...

Immediate use for the newly developed assembloids could include studying neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism.

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of humans' most prominent nervous pathways for sensing ...

Four tiny 3D organs connected themselves in a lab dish, forming a replica of the human pain pathway, in a new study. The discovery allows scientists to better understand chronic pain and how pain ...
