A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...

The humble planarian flatworm can regrow its brain. Here’s how this tiny animal will have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about memory.

Scientists who study the brain have long tried to unlock the neural mysteries of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. They can be difficult to diagnose and even harder to treat. The scientists began ...

De Zavala Elementary in Midland has implemented the School Action Fund STEM model to provide students with high-quality learning experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...
