A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs ...

The first step in shaping the brain is that the neural plate, a sheet-like cell layer, curves to form the neural tube. Assistant Professor Makoto Suzuki of the National Institute for Basic Biology, ...

Neural tube formation was compromised in frog embryos treated with the widely-used antiepileptic drug valproic acid and led to defects. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...

RosetteArrays, developed at UW–Madison, grow fields of neural rosettes — embroynic versions of down-scaled, simplified brain structures — from stem cells, giving scientists the opportunity to study ...

Technology developed at the University of Wisconsin–Madison to grow "rosettes" of brain and spinal tissue gives scientists new ways to study the growing human brain, including a recent study of how ...
