Adding rat stem cells to a mouse embryo resulted in a ‘hybrid brain’ in which the rat cells stepped in to restore function when the mouse’s sense of smell was removed, new research has shown. It’s the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about digital healthcare, biotech & innovation in medicine. Restoring function to a specific type of nerve cell in the ...

Hypertension impairs blood vessels, neurons and white matter in the brain well before the condition causes a measurable rise ...

A study from UCLA neurologists challenges the idea that the brain recruits existing neurons to take over for those that are lost from stroke. It shows that in mice, undamaged neurons do not change ...

After years of work, cognition and neuroscience doctoral student Hailey Welch is—for the first time—the lead author of a ...
