Now, neuroscientists at Stanford University have taken a huge step towards solving that problem. They grew human cortical ...

Scientists have grown human brain tissue to fill most of a mouse’s cortex, creating a new model for studying brain disease ...

The first stem cell culture method that produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system has been developed by a team of engineers and biologists. The first stem cell ...

Researchers have used new imaging techniques to explore the function and structures of the neuro-cutaneous unit, which is the connection between the nervous system and the skin. The results may change ...

Our brains and their associated diseases are notoriously hard to study. So, researchers developed an animal model with a ...

No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by scientists in a new study on the human sense of touch. Comparisons between humans, mice and macaques show both similarities and ...

In this video I walk you through real donated human brains to explore how the nervous system actually looks and works. I point out the spinal cord, branching nerves, and vertebrae, then break down ...

In the previous article, "AI is reading the 'style of the nerves'," I discussed how human nervous states manifest in language as the shape of questions, metaphors, humor, and the rhythm of dialogue.

Diseases of the nervous system refer to disorders that affect any part of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord or cranial nerves) or peripheral nervous system.

New 3D images reveal the clitoris’s complex nerve network, highlighting long‑standing gaps in medical understanding of the female body.How big is the clitoris? Where exactly is it located? And how is ...
