Hindbrain neurons control breathing and swallowing, and a Stanford lab grew them after finding a second starter cell in the ...

Researchers at Stanford University have upended fundamental assumptions about human brain development, revealing today what humans consider a single organ is actually two entirely separate systems ...

Deleting the NSF protein in striatal dopamine neurons causes ADHD-like symptoms in mice that respond to combination drug ...

The hundreds-of-millions-of-years-old revelation could give scientists a new way to study ALS and other conditions affecting ...

A new study reveals the human brain is composed of two independently evolved organs, enabling the first lab-grown human hindbrain neurons.

Credit: Mike Kai Chen A brain implant can now do something that wasn’t possible before. It can translate a person’s attempted words and gestures at the same time. Researchers at the University of ...

But creating a long-lasting electronic connection with the brain is complicated. Conventional microwire and silicon electrodes are much stiffer than soft brain tissue.

Discovery could open up new avenues for studying diseases that affect the brainstem, such as spinal muscular atrophy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The Stanford University breakthrough stands to open new doors for research into fatal neurodegenerative diseases ...

The team at Stanford Medicine found that the brain is made of two ancient nervous systems and could aid efforts to grow hindbrain neurons ...

Robot firms are increasingly focusing on the software that determines robots' intelligence and enables them to do more economically productive tasks.

During slow-wave sleep, the cortex alternates between UP states of vigorous firing and DOWN states of near-silence; the Sst-Chodl neurons broke this pattern. “Their activity is even higher at the ...
