3D brain model cracks open a mystery of human development The new stem-cell models provide our first glimpse of previously unseen neural dynamics.

Researchers have concluded that 3D mini-brains are more similar to human brains, both structurally and functionally, than the 2D models currently in use. With better brain models, scientists are ...

Meet "Big Brain," the first high-res, 3D digital model of the human brain. It's the result of a huge, 10-year project built from individual scans of 7,400 slices of a single human brain.

According to a new study, researchers at Tufts University have now grown a 3D tissue model of the brain using human neurons, providing them with a better opportunity to study abnormal brain cells.

The Human Brain Project is an ambitious initiative that seeks to understand how the brain works by simulating it with technology. Could it help us understand the nature of our own consciouness?

With 50 times better resolution than the best 3D brain representation available until now, the map will benefit diverse areas of neuroscience, from neurogenetics to neurodegenerative disease, said ...

At two percent of our body weight, and made up of 100 billion nerve cells, the brain is a hugely complex organ. Scientists can study the brain using animal models, but in recent years much work ...

A new 3D model mimics the human blood-brain barrier, improving drug testing and brain disease research with unprecedented accuracy.

Two years in, a $1-billion-plus effort to simulate the human brain is in disarray. Was it poor management, or is something fundamentally wrong with Big Science?
