They gave it something much smaller — a tiny stretch of human DNA known as HARE5. And in return, the mouse grew a brain about 6.5% bigger than its peers. The tweak was minuscule.

Scientists at the Allen Institute, a research center in Seattle, then sliced that piece of the mouse’s brain into more than 25,000 layers, each a tiny fraction of the width of a human hair, and ...

Scientists reveal new evidence of key mechanism in Alzheimer's A novel study involving human brain cells grown in mice provides insight that could lead to potential therapy Date: July 18, 2022 ...

Human Embryo Implantation—The term “human embryo implantation” means a human embryo has successfully attached itself to a patient’s uterine wall lining which marks the beginning of pregnancy.

Elon Musk says Neuralink’s first human trial participant can control a computer mouse with their brain, nearly one month after having the company’s chip implanted in their brain.

To explore the functional implications of human NOVA1, researchers used CRISPR gene editing to create mice that expressed the uniquely human version of this protein. Within the cell, NOVA1’s job is to ...

Rutgers scientists have found more clear-cut evidence of how the destructive proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease attack human brain cells and destroy surrounding tissue.
