Cerebral development may be impaired in fetuses with congenital cardiovascular malformations, particularly hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and aortopulmonary transposition (APT). The decreased ...

The brain consists of neurons and glial cells. The developmental abnormality of glial cells causes various diseases and aberrant cerebral cortex development. CD38 gene knockout is shown to cause ...

The part of the brain associated with the sense of touch – the somatosensory cerebral cortex – has attracted numerous studies aimed at determining the influence of extrinsic environmental and ...

In the latest development for the rapidly evolving field of cerebral organoids, a team of researchers has created a fully functional neural network, derived from 3D cell cultures. Whether you call ...

The cerebrum is the top part of the brain. It receives and gives meaning to information from the sense organs and controls the body. The cerebrum is also involved in functions like memory, reasoning, ...

Cerebral organoids are artificially grown, 3D tissue cultures that resemble the human brain. Now, researchers from Japan report functional neural networks derived from these organoids in a study ...

What makes us who we are and distinctive from other species? The cerebral cortex in our brains is one of the things that makes us human. It controls our highest cognitive functions, learning abilities ...

University of Delaware’s Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called molecular mistakes that occur when a strand of RNA — the ribonucleic acid that ...
