Image Press coverage | Dec 27 2025 NPR What we learned about neuroscience in 2025 Researchers studying the human brain shared a lot of fascinating research last year, including a study from Wu Tsai Neuro scientists who replicated the brain's pain circuits. Image Press coverage | Dec 25 2025 NPR Experts met to discuss the ethics of using organoids in research Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.
