As the human brain takes shape before birth, a remarkable type of stem cell helps give it many of the features that make it distinctly human. These cells, called radial glia, make billions of ...

Why do human brains vary in size and shape, and how did our brains expand over evolutionary time to give us our enhanced ...

Most primate species have relatively large brains with surfaces marked by pronounced bulges and furrows. This is not the case with common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus). The brains of these small ...

Learn how a Stanford team transplanted human brain tissue into mice to study disease while weighing the ethical questions ...

At birth, the brain is far from fully developed. Neural connections are formed at a rapid pace during the first weeks of life, and blood vessels—which supply oxygen and nutrients to nerve cells—follow ...

Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) variability reflects meaningful brain activity, yet its structural and biological correlates during early development remain unknown. Using longitudinal ...

MedPAC's chair defended its $76 billion Medicare Advantage estimate at an insurer event. What the fight could mean for Part B premiums. Kennedy Disclosure Shows $4 Million in Book Advances From ...

Findings published in Cell and Science uncover metabolic and physical cues that influence which cell types radial glia produce in the developing human cortex In two new studies, UCLA researchers used ...
