The Mouse With a Almost-Human Brain: Stanford's Chimera Breakthrough Rewrites Neuroscience
For decades, neuroscientists have faced an uncomfortable truth: the mouse brain, despite its utility as a research model, is a poor stand-in for the human one. The cellular architecture is different. The disease progressions diverge. Treatments that work brilliantly in rodents routinely collapse in human clinical trials. Now, a team at Stanford University has taken a radical step toward closing that gap — by growing human brain tissue inside a living mouse. The research, led

Scientists Map Every Neuron in a Fruit Fly's Brain and It Could Unlock the Secrets of Your Own
It took ten years, two of the world's most capable research institutions, and more computational muscle than most of us can imagine — but scientists have finally done it. They have mapped every single neuron and synaptic connection in the brain of a male fruit fly, creating what is now the most complete picture of any brain ever assembled. The achievement, published in the journal Cell, is the result of a landmark collaboration between Google Research and the Howard Hughes Me
