After living in France for nearly 20 years, Stephanie Lack can spot a British ex-pat couple renovating a wreck a mile off - and says many of them are woefully unprepared for life across the Channel.
Scientists have made mice with a remarkable amount of room for human brain tissue to grow. By genetically engineering animals lacking part of their brain, researchers created a living model in which ...
Researchers hope to shed light on conditions such as schizophrenia, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, intellectual disability and rare forms of dementia Researchers have created mice with half-human brains in ...
Scientists reconstructed videos from the brain activity of mice, producing 10-second clips based only on signals from neurons in the visual cortex. The breakthrough could help reveal how the brain ...

A side view of a "xenocortical" mouse brain, with the grafted human tissue seen in green and red. S. Pașca Lab / Stanford University In a research lab in California, mice that look ordinary on the ...
Researchers have developed a new way to install millions of human brain cells into mice, as a way of creating better scientific models for studying neurodegenerative disease. Using genetic tools, the ...
The animals may help reveal the causes of brain disease in people and point the way to treatments. But researchers already are calling for new ethical guidelines. The animals may help reveal the ...
