3D brain model cracks open a mystery of human development The new stem-cell models provide our first glimpse of previously unseen neural dynamics.

Researchers have concluded that 3D mini-brains are more similar to human brains, both structurally and functionally, than the 2D models currently in use. With better brain models, scientists are ...

With 50 times better resolution than the best 3D brain representation available until now, the map will benefit diverse areas of neuroscience, from neurogenetics to neurodegenerative disease, said ...

For families of children with severe epilepsy, controlling seizures is often just the beginning of their challenges. Even in ...

According to a new study, researchers at Tufts University have now grown a 3D tissue model of the brain using human neurons, providing them with a better opportunity to study abnormal brain cells.

Meet "Big Brain," the first high-res, 3D digital model of the human brain. It's the result of a huge, 10-year project built from individual scans of 7,400 slices of a single human brain.

Tiny 3-D models that mimic vital aspects of the human nervous system have been developed in a step that could accelerate drug research for neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS).

Two years in, a $1-billion-plus effort to simulate the human brain is in disarray. Was it poor management, or is something fundamentally wrong with Big Science?
