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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Researchers present new insights into the development of the human brain and differences in this process compared to other great apes. The study reveals features of brain development that are unique ...

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, ...
