Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand ...

Study: Human midbrain organoids: a powerful tool for advanced Parkinson’s disease modeling and therapy exploration. Image Credit: mi_viri/Shutterstock.com In a recent review published in the npj ...

Small pea-sized human midbrain-like organoids – or three-dimensional, multicellular, in vitro tissue constructs that mimic the human midbrain – are grown from human stem cells to enable ...

For talkative midshipman fish -- sometimes called the 'California singing fish' -- the midbrain plays a robust role in initiating and patterning of sounds used in vocal communication.

Neurospirituality crosses multiple disciplines to study how and why the human brain has a sense of the divine. Evidence is ...

The human brain is in the shape of a helmet and the midbrain sits at the top of brain’s “stem”. Fish brains are shaped more like a tube – making them a more accessible model to study ...

Researchers have created over 400 distinct types of human nerve cells in vitro, vastly expanding the diversity available for ...

For talkative midshipman fish—sometimes called the "California singing fish"—the midbrain plays a robust role in initiating and patterning trains of sounds used in vocal communication.

In this regard, midbrain organoids are essential to study one of the most affected regions in Parkinson’s disease, the midbrain. We make use of Parkinson’s disease patient specific midbrain organoids ...

Starfish are known for their adorable and symmetrical arms that seem to hug everything they touch. But it turns out that they may not be hugs after all – because starfish, researchers found, are ...

In a recent review published in the npj Parkinsons Disease, a group of authors explored the use of human midbrain organoids (mini 3D organ models) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) (movement disorder ...
