Precursor cells in the embryonic neural tube are organized in a specific striped pattern which depends on the signals they receive (left). Lehr and colleagues recreated this pattern in a cell culture ...

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 ...

A project at University College London (UCL) and the University of Padua has created mechanical force sensors directly in the developing brains and spinal cords of chicken embryos. Published in Nature ...

Neurodevelopment involves the brain's formation of systems responsible for learning, memory, social skills, and overall function. Critical neurodevelopmental processes such as neurogenesis, synaptic ...
