Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell ...

UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

Like fingerprints, human brains are unique. Scientists are working to map the variability of individual brains and to inform personalized therapeutics for treatment-resistant disease. These findings ...

Researchers have created functional brain-like tissue without relying on any animal-derived materials, marking a major step toward more ethical and reproducible neurological research.

In a new study, scientists explored the links between three measures known to independently predict healthy aging: nutrient intake, brain structure and cognitive function. Their analysis adds to the ...

Differences between men and women in intelligence and behaviour have been proposed and disputed for decades. Now, a growing ...

It's estimated that anywhere from three to seven percent of school-age children may have dyslexia, a neurodevelopmental issue that affects reading, spelling, and writing. There are different ideas ...

Prenatal exposure to the insecticide chlorpyrifos causes widespread brain abnormalities and poorer motor skills in children. Even after a residential ban, ongoing agricultural use continues to ...
