"By fusing organoids that produce distinct morphogens and precisely controlling the timing and quantity of morphogen-producing cells in these fusions, polar cortical assembloids (PolCAs) serve as an ...

The cortex is at the apex of information processing in the mammalian brain. Interestingly, however, beside olfactory inputs, no fast, precise information reaches the cortex without a thalamic transfer ...

Researchers have identified a specific brain pathway that appears to sustain chronic pain long after injuries heal, reframing it as a circuit-level brain disorder. The caudal granular insular ...
