A team of researchers at Stanford University has, for the first time, created three-dimensional organoid models of the human forebrain. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes growing the organoids ...
A study at the University of Jyväskylä indicated that children's brains have special features not found in adult brains. For the brain, childhood and youth are special stages, as the neural networks are then especially ...
