Researchers in the field are right to focus on biosafety, ethics and the involvement of patient groups and the public.

Your brain may be more of a duet than a solo act. A new study in Nature Neuroscience suggests that the human brain is essentially two ancient nervous systems that evolved separately but now function ...

New in JNeurosci, Ning Liu, from the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, explored whether brain structures for self-processing are conserved across primates, including humans, ...

This creature doesn’t think the way we do—because it doesn’t have just one brain. With 9 brains and 3 hearts, it can process information across its entire body, even controlling each arm independently ...

Scientists found that declining levels of the brain protein Menin may help drive aging, with lower levels in mice linked to inflammation, cognitive decline, weaker bones, and thinner skin. Restoring ...

Accumulating evidence suggests that hitting 10,000 steps a day isn't the only way to unlock the health benefits of daily movement. Three recent 2026 studies show that slightly increasing your gait ...

The seemingly trivial ability to hear a regular pulse in music is a remarkable—and perhaps distinctively human—feature of the brain. In a wide-ranging critical review, Gábor Háden of the HUN-REN ...

(CN) — For decades, scientists thought the entire brain started from the same type of progenitor cell. But in findings published Friday in Nature Neuroscience, researchers say the brain’s front and ...

For centuries, scientists have thought of the brain as a single, unified organ. But new research led by Stanford Medicine reveals that what we call the brain is two distinct organs that evolved ...

The animals may help reveal the causes of brain disease in people and point the way to treatments. But researchers already are calling for new ethical guidelines. The animals may help reveal the ...

Stanford Medicine scientists have chalked up a major advance in growing human brain cells outside of the human brain — and outside of laboratory glassware. In a study published online Sept. 16 in ...
