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.

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 ...

Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This ...

Humans and other animal species can experience many types of pain throughout the course of their lives, varying in intensity, ...

Stem cell treatment using reprogrammed cells shows promising in helping paralyzed individuals regain lost functions.

In all, they collected data that covers about 3.4 miles (5.4 kilometers) of neuronal wiring in a part of the brain that ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a ...

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 ...

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

Two types of neurons in the hippocampus either store memories for sugar or drive fat cravings, shaping food intake and ...

Howard Hughes Medical Institute-led research has produced a complete connectome of the Drosophila visual system, enabling systematic investigations into how visual information is processed and relayed ...
