Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz have trained lab-grown clusters of mouse brain cells to balance a ...

No body, no dopamine, no problem. Scientists have successfully coached lab-grown brain tissue to solve a classic robotics challenge, proving that the will to learn is hardwired into our neurons.

Scientists trained a brain organoid to solve a well-known engineering task, and its success demonstrates the increasing complexity of lab-grown brains.

Understanding how a healthy brain works can provide insight into how it fails, too. Scientists hope that studying organoids derived from humans with neurodevelopmental disorders — particularly ...

"The capacity for adaptive computation is intrinsic to cortical tissue itself." The post Lab-Grown Brains Growing More ...

Researchers developed brain organoids from patient samples to model genetic subtypes of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), creating a translational platform that better reflects the human-specific ...

Learn more about the advances in brain organoids and what this science could mean for the future.

Research on conditions like autism, schizophrenia and even brain cancer increasingly relies on clusters of human cells called brain organoids. These pea-size bits of neural tissue model aspects of ...
