For the first time, a team of researchers at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH), has ...

We can't see what other people are thinking, so we have to infer it and that's very crucial for our communication as humans. That's how we create shared meaning and that's how we choose our words to ...

Scientists have developed a novel human brain organoid model that generates all the major cell types of the cerebellum, a hindbrain region predominantly made up of two cell types necessary for ...

Scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) have developed an organoid model of the human brain that generates granule cells and Purkinje neurons—two major cell types found in the human ...

From before birth through childhood, connections form between neurons in the brain, ultimately making us who we are. So far, scientists have gained a relatively good understanding of how neural ...

Purkinje cells were discovered by Jan Evangelista Purkyně in 1839 and famously illustrated by Santiago Ramón y Cajal in 1899. This Ramón y Cajal drawing shows cerebellar Purkinje cells (A) and granule ...

Scientists have characterized the folding of the cerebellar cortex using data from a sample of 56 mammalian species, allowing them to study the diversity and evolution of cerebellar folding and its ...

My late father, Richard Bergland, M.D. (1932-2007) published The Fabric of Mind in 1986. For the book cover, dad insisted on a sagittal plane view; he liked how this vantage point elucidates major ...

The image shows how the cerebellum (white) send its projections across the brain of a newborn mouse. A wide network of color-coded axons reveals how this tiny structure connects with multiple brain ...

In a first for USC Stem Cell scientists, the laboratory of Giorgia Quadrato, an assistant professor of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, has pioneered a novel human brain organoid model ...
