These 3D model brains with cells from several people are first of their kind Chimeric brain ‘organoids’ promise to help reveal individual variation in brain development and in drug responses.

The most ambitious project to study one of nature’s most complex pieces of the machinery—the human brain—is now in danger of dissolution.

Wrinkles on the surface of the brain form through buckling in weak spots that develop as the foetal brain grows, a team of researchers working with 3D model of the brain find.

Meet "Big Brain," the first high-res, 3D digital model of the human brain. It's the result of a huge, 10-year project built from individual scans of 7,400 slices of a single human brain.

A new high resolution model of the CA1 region of the human hippocampus has been developed by the Institute of Biophysics of the Italian National Research Council and University of Modena e Reggio ...

Can we create a thinking machine? Can we build a model of the human brain inside a computer? How do our minds really work? Those are some of the questions that researchers in the EU's Human Brain ...

Just like the human brain itself, the European Commission’s billion-euro Human Brain Project (HBP) defies easy explanation. Launched 18 months ago, the massive project is complex and, to most ...

Two years in, a $1-billion-plus effort to simulate the human brain is in disarray. Was it poor management, or is something fundamentally wrong with Big Science?

A new 3D model mimics the human blood-brain barrier, improving drug testing and brain disease research with unprecedented accuracy.

The results are part of a study in ongoing collaboration with Tessara, a leading biotechnology company pioneering a new approach in 3D cell-based models of the brain, having developed its ...
