Scientists say they have very strong evidence that the adult human brain is capable of making new neurons, a point of ongoing ...

The human brain is an incredibly complex organ made up of billions of cells, all organized in complex three-dimensional structures. To understand the brain’s function, it’s important to characterize ...

A new study reveals that neurons in the brain’s memory center, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. A ...

Human brain cells, it's fair to say, are diverse and complex. Each cell in the brain has the same DNA sequence, but different cell types use different genes, and in different amounts.

Despite all our cells sharing the same DNA, there are thousands of different cell types in the human brain, each with a unique structure and function. One longstanding problem in neuroscience is ...

Researchers have developed a technique to connect lab-grown neural 'organoids' (three-dimensional developmental brain-like structures grown from human stem cells) using axonal bundles, similar to ...
