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 ...

STANFORD, Calif. (KGO) -- For decades researchers have been peering into the human brain, trying to unlock the secrets of conditions ranging from autism to epilepsy to mental illness. But now, instead ...

New research published in the journal Neuroscience provides evidence that nitrous oxide may be an effective treatment for ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to study conditions like autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and schizophrenia. The approach involves transplanting a cluster of living human brain cells from a dish ...

For the first time, researchers have used cells from one species to restore the sense of smell in another. In an article published April 25 in Cell, researchers from Columbia University described how ...

Scientists have transplanted human brain cells into the brains of baby rats, where the cells grew and formed connections. It’s part of an effort to better study human brain development and diseases ...

Inside their small furry heads, Stanford rats have brains that are a little bit human. These rodents aren’t any smarter than their peers. Their memories aren’t better, and they can’t read, write, play ...

In recent experiments, rat brain cells filled in for lost neurons in mouse brains, raising new possibilities for growing donor tissues across species. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...
