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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

A new 3D model mimics the human blood-brain barrier, improving drug testing and brain disease research with unprecedented accuracy.

The EU-funded Human Brain Project (HBP) comes to an end in September and celebrates its successful conclusion today with a scientific symposium at Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ). The HBP was one ...

The Human Brain Project announces the start of its final phase as an EU-funded FET Flagship. The European Commission has signed a grant agreement to fund the HBP with 150 million Euros from now ...

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?
