UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

Researchers have created functional brain-like tissue without relying on any animal-derived materials, marking a major step toward more ethical and reproducible neurological research.

Recent studies show the importance of giving the brain healthy breaks — and it may look slightly different than you think. To process information effectively, the brain should function in a specific ...

Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature ...

Chronic stress and elevated cortisol levels can damage the body's natural rhythm and disrupt the part of the brain involved ...

Investigators have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between 'test tube' data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain. Their study could help in the ...

One of the strongest findings on creatine and stress comes from research on sleep deprivation. A 2024 human trial found that a single high dose of creatine improved cognitive performance after 21 ...

Robots that can sense and respond to the world like humans may soon be a reality as scientists have created an artificial ...

An international study—the largest of its kind—has uncovered similar structural changes in the brains of young people ...

Radiation-induced brain injury (RIBI) is a serious and often delayed complication of cranial radiotherapy, which remains a cornerstone in the treatment of brain tumors such as gliomas, metastases, and ...
